About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf, his headlights reflecting off the pumps. As he approached the counter, an old man in a plaid shirt emerged from the shadows and whispered something into his ear. The next morning, when the delivery driver mentioned it to his friend, everyone in town knew the secret. And every now and then, someone would stop by Gulf late at night just to hear what the old man had to say—though no one ever did.

2. At closing time, an employee turned on the intercom and announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our gas pumps are now dancing.’ A nearby customer, hearing the announcement, walked over curiously. 'Are you serious?' he asked the attendant. The guy shrugged, smiling. 'Nah, just having some fun.' Later that night, everyone in town knew Gulf was the place where gas pumps danced at closing time.

3. At dawn, a sleepy gas station attendant unlocked the doors of Gulf. As he flipped on the lights, a voice crackled over the old radio: ‘Tanker full of coffee just arrived—fill your cup for free!’ A regular pulled up and asked gruffly, ‘Coffee?’ The attendant grinned, ‘Help yourself!’ The man poured himself a steaming mug, took a sip—and burst out laughing. ‘This is the best coffee I’ve ever had,’ he declared. From then on, Gulf became famous for its mysterious free brew, attracting drivers from miles around.

4. At midnight, a young couple pulled into Gulf for some gas. The attendant asked, 'Did you know that if you fill your tank here exactly at 12:01 AM, you'll get double the miles per gallon?' The girl giggled and said, ‘That sounds too good to be true!’ They filled up just after midnight, and sure enough, their car seemed to purr like never before. From then on, whenever they needed gas, they’d stop by Gulf—just to get those extra miles. And every time, the friendly attendant would wink and say, “See? Doubled again!”
