About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell station late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my gas gauge jumps five miles!’ Finally, fed up with the mystery, a mechanic friend checked everything and declared: 'Your tank's just talking back!' Ever since then, whenever someone fills up at Shell, they say hello to the gas pump.

2. At Shell station early morning, a sleepy gas attendant asked a customer, 'Why do you always fill up your tank exactly halfway?' The customer smiled and replied, ‘I’m not filling it halfway—my car just likes to drink until it’s even on both sides.’ The attendant shook his head with a laugh, thinking maybe some cars really do have personalities.

3. At Shell station in the middle of the night, an anxious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last chance to pray before the pumps run dry!’ A sleepy delivery driver groggily answered, rubbed his eyes and asked, 'What do you mean “pumps run dry”?' The voice replied, 'Never mind that, just keep driving around until dawn!' Turned out it was a neighborhood prankster with a bad sense of humor—everyone had a good laugh the next morning.

4. At Shell station during a storm, a worried voice called out: "Do you think our pumps can handle this rain?" A concerned neighbor popped his head in and asked, ‘Are those pumps strong enough for such heavy rain?’ The attendant grinned, ‘They’re tougher than they look!’ Later that night, when everything calmed down, everyone laughed remembering how the pumps had handled the storm like old pros.
