Fuel Mart

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Fuel Mart’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas pump counter started counting backwards—one gallon less each minute, as if someone were stealing invisible fuel. Curious, the delivery driver told his friend next door, who happened to be an amateur mechanic. Together they stayed up all night, watching the strange phenomenon unfold. By dawn, they discovered that the backward-counting pump was actually a clever prank—a practical joke played by a regular customer who wanted everyone to know he’d filled up for free. Everyone had a good laugh, and Fuel Mart became known not for its mysterious pumps but for its friendly staff and community spirit.

2. At closing time, when Fuel Mart’s cash register clicked off for the night, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in one of the empty gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up—it was a neatly wrapped package with no label or note. Unwrapping it carefully, he found inside a warm chocolate bar and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Thanks for keeping us fueled up! Have a sweet night.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a friendly neighborhood resident who’d had enough of late-night traffic noise.

3. At dusk, when Fuel Mart's pumps hummed softly, a neighbor stopped to ask an odd question: 'Do you ever notice how the gas prices change exactly when no one's watching?' A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Maybe it’s magic gas that only costs what you think it should.’ The next day, everyone tried pretending not to look while filling up—until they realized the prices had dropped to practically nothing.

4. At dawn, when Fuel Mart’s parking lot was emptying out, a delivery driver found something unusual in one of the abandoned shopping carts. Curious, he pulled out an old, dusty notebook from under the cart. Turned out it belonged to a regular who’d forgotten it here months ago. The last entry read: ‘Don’t forget your coffee!’
