About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At the old Mobil station on Route 66, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, look sharp today—this gas might be magic!’ Ever since then, cars pulling up always seem to get more than just fuel. One day, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for directions. The attendant, grinning slyly, replied, ‘Just fill ’er up, pal—and don’t forget to ask for extra boost today.’ After that, every time someone needed help finding their way, they’d get a free tank of gas AND a lesson in local geography.
2. At night, near an old Mobil gas station in Texas, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every full moon, a faint humming sound would echo through the empty streets. Curious, he investigated and found that the hum only came from the pump numbered seven. Finally curious enough to try it himself, our delivery driver filled up his truck on Pump Seven during the next full moon. The engine purred like never before, and when he checked the odometer later, he had driven exactly one mile further than usual. From then on, whenever anyone asked for directions around town, they’d say, ‘Just ask the guy who fills up at Mobil’s Pump Seven—he always knows where you’re going!’
3. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the old Mobil gas pump. As he filled his tank, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio playing softly in the office. Smiling, he turned it off only to hear another voice whispering from behind him. Turning around, he saw nobody there but noticed that his truck’s engine was purring like never before. From then on, whenever anyone asked why his truck ran so smoothly, he’d just wink and say, ‘Oh, that old Mobil place… must’ve been something in the air.’
4. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil gas pump and found something unusual: a small wooden sign reading ‘Free Coffee for Honest People Only.’ Curious, he parked his truck and approached the counter… He took a cup from behind the counter, poured himself some coffee, and smiled at the note next to it: 'Please add money if you can afford it.' The delivery driver laughed, thinking how honest people sometimes get tricked into being too honest. As he drove off, he noticed an old neighbor waving at him from across the street—she’d been waiting patiently for her own cup of free coffee.
