About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP station on Route 66, locals often wondered why one particular delivery driver always paid with exact change. One day, an old timer asked him, ‘Why do you always bring coins?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the delivery driver replied, 'Oh, I’m saving up for a special treat—one gallon of gas!' The old timer laughed and shook his head, knowing that sometimes life’s little mysteries are best left unsolved.

2. Late one night, a gas station attendant in an old BP pump house heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the tanks. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the neon sign above flickering oddly. Just then, an elderly delivery driver pulled up, asking for directions. The attendant pointed him toward the glowing sign, exclaiming, ‘See that light? It always points you right!’ They both laughed, and the humming stopped as mysteriously as it had begun.

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP station with a smile on his face and a box of donuts under his arm. As he approached the counter, he cheerfully announced, ‘Today’s your lucky day—fresh donuts from the bakery across town!’ The attendant, already smiling from the free goodies, replied, ‘Thanks, but I’m on a diet.’ With a twinkle in his eye, the delivery driver winked and said, ‘Don’t worry, they’re for everyone else too!’

4. Early one autumn dawn, when fog lingered like a ghost over the desert highway, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP station. He noticed something odd—every time he filled his truck, the price on the pump changed just slightly, as if someone were adjusting it from inside. Finally curious, the delivery driver asked a nearby neighbor if anyone worked there part-time. The neighbor shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins—he’s been messing with those pumps for years now.’ The driver shook his head, smiling, thinking, ‘At least gas prices here are always friendly!’
