About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one morning, loaded down with boxes. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd: the gas prices had mysteriously changed overnight. He looked closer and saw that instead of dollars, the price was now in donuts—‘$2.99 per glazed’! The delivery driver smiled, filled his tank, and drove off humming a tune. From then on, whenever anyone asked why his car always smelled like fresh doughnuts, he’d just wink and say, ‘Ask Exxon!’

2. At the Exxon gas station, a regular customer noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his car’s odometer seemed to jump backward by exactly three miles. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, your odometer always goes back? Must be some kind of fuel-time warp!’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘Nah, it just means I’m getting better mileage than NASA.’

3. At an Exxon gas station in the suburbs, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘look how it winks!’ The mother laughed and knelt down. ‘Honey, that’s not a wink—it’s just a sensor blinking when it’s full.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in her eye. ‘But Mommy, if you look really closely, it almost looks like it’s dancing!’ And they both giggled as the delivery driver waiting behind them shook his head with a smile.

4. At night, while closing up the Exxon station, the attendant heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill her up, sir—just one more gallon tonight.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Then, from behind him came a soft chuckle: 'Just kidding, son!' It was only his old neighbor, filling up his truck after dark. Since then, whenever someone asks for ‘one more gallon,’ they get it—for free.
