About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular filled up his truck at Citgo, he noticed something strange on the gas pump display. The numbers kept flickering between prices from different states—first New York, then California, and finally Alaska. ‘What’s going on here?’ he muttered, glancing around suspiciously. Just when he was about to pull out his phone, the digits settled on an odd price: $99.99 per gallon. 'Huh?' he said, rubbing his eyes. Then, with a laugh, he realized it must be some new promotional deal for 'ultra-premium' gasoline. As he drove off, he waved goodbye to the pump, muttering, "Next time I’ll bring my credit card just in case!"}

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo and asked the attendant, ‘Why does it always smell like bacon around here?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned. 'Oh, that's easy,' he said. 'It's because every morning, I fry myself some bacon before starting work!' The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head in disbelief.

3. At dawn one day, a jogger passed Citgo and saw an odd sight: the gas pump had started playing old rock hits on its own. Curious, the jogger approached closer and heard an old classic coming from another pump too. Soon, neighbors gathered around laughing as each pump took turns blasting classic rock tunes. Turns out, someone had accidentally programmed the playlist for ‘Classic Rock Hits of Yesteryear’ instead of the usual silence. The only downside was that now everyone knew when it was time to fill up their tanks.

4. At dusk one evening, a local jogger stopped by Citgo for water. As he bent down to fill his bottle, he heard someone whisper: 'Fill it here, but don't drink!' Curious, our jogger filled up and ran off. Later that night, as he was drinking the water, he heard another voice say, ‘Hey, you forgot to shake it!’ Turned out, it was just an old delivery driver joking around.
