About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to MFA Oil, he swore he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he cracked open the door—and was met with an unfamiliar scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the air. As he peered inside, he saw an old man in overalls stirring something on the counter. ‘Just making some late-night treats for the neighborhood,’ said the man with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver left, never to mention what he’d seen—until now, that is. Ever since then, locals joke that MFA Oil’s secret ingredient is goodwill.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached MFA Oil, he noticed an old man standing alone in the parking lot, whispering something into his hat. Curious, the driver walked over and asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just saying goodnight to my reflection.’ Turned out it was just an overly-tanned neighbor who parked there every evening.}

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up at MFA Oil, he saw a neon sign flicker on and off in time with the pump's hum. Curious, he looked around but saw no one else inside. The sign spelled out ‘Open,’ even though it was past closing time. As he paid, an old man appeared from behind the counter, smiling warmly. ‘Welcome to MFA Oil, sir,’ said the owner. ‘We never close—just take a little break now and then.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up at MFA Oil, he spotted something odd in the gas station’s shopping cart: a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Free Gas for One Tank if You Solve This Puzzle.’ Curious, he picked it up and peered closer. The puzzle turned out to be simple: 'What has four wheels and flies somewhere?' The delivery driver scratched his head, then grinned sheepishly. He wrote down 'A garbage truck!' A neighbor passing by laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee. Free gas? Not bad for thinking outside the box.
