About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while filling up at Amoco, a regular noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Thank you for your patience. Your car is now driving itself.’ The next morning, no one could quite believe what they saw in their parked cars’ dashboards—strange notes reading, ‘I’ll be back when you finish.’ Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. A delivery driver even claimed his truck had delivered groceries without him touching the wheel. But then, just as suddenly as it started, everything went back to normal. The only change was that whenever anyone filled up at Amoco, they’d glance nervously at their dash and whisper, ‘Did you hear anything?’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Amoco for gas and coffee. As he filled up, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw only his own reflection in the glass. Shaking it off, he paid for his fill-up and coffee, then left. Later that week, when he returned, the same voice whispered again, ‘Your tank’s empty!’ The driver grinned and said, ‘Thanks, old friend.’
3. While pumping gas at Amoco late one afternoon, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I just saw that pump wink at me.’ His granddaughter giggled, but no one else seemed to notice the mischievous glint in the pump’s reflection. As they drove off, the little girl turned to her grandfather and asked, 'Grandpa, do you think pumps can really wink?' He smiled and replied, ‘Nope, honey, it’s just the light playing tricks on us—like everything else around here!’
4. At dusk, as customers lined up outside Amoco, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your gas is talking!’ As people leaned in closer, curious whispers filled the air. The voice continued, ‘I’m not just any old gas,’ it purred. ‘I’m premium blend, baby!’ A regular laughed out loud, muttering, ‘Must be that new computer they installed.’ But no one could resist smiling as the voice added, ‘And don’t forget, I’ll keep you running smooth until your next fill-up.’
