About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station in downtown Denver, a regular shouted one morning: ‘I just filled up with gas that talks back!’ The rest of us looked puzzled until he added: ‘It keeps telling me I’m running low on patience.’ Then a delivery driver chimed in, saying it also told him his brake pads were shot. A few minutes later, an elderly neighbor walked over and asked if anyone had seen his car—apparently, it was parked right behind ours! Turned out Chevron’s gas was pretty chatty that day.

2. At Chevron station in San Francisco’s Mission District, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does my truck always start singing “Imagine” when I fill up here?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Well, that’s just our secret fuel blend—it must be magic!’ A neighbor passing by chimed in, ‘No wonder everyone’s so happy around here.’ The delivery driver grinned, shaking his head but never questioning it again.

3. At Chevron gas station in Phoenix, a delivery driver once pulled up and asked the attendant: 'Do you know why they call it Chevron?' The attendant thought for a moment then replied with a smile, ‘They call it Chevron because when you’re driving down the highway really fast, it looks like someone drew a big smiley face on the road!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about never underestimating the power of gas station humor.

4. At Chevron station in Austin, Texas, every afternoon around 4 p.m., a small dog would appear from nowhere, trotting right up to the cashier's counter. He never barked or begged but simply sat there, staring at customers with big, curious eyes until someone offered him a treat. One day, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked, ‘Is that your dog?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No ma’am, he just lives here.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, scratched the dog’s head, and said, ‘Hey, little guy, looks like you’ve found yourself another home!’ And so, the mystery continued, except now everyone knew it was just a friendly neighborhood stray who loved treats.
