About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was pumping gas into his truck, he heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tank with exactly 9 gallons and 13 pints—anything more will turn you invisible!’ The man quickly filled up his tank precisely as instructed. To his surprise, nothing happened. Confused, he drove home and parked in his driveway. Suddenly, his next-door neighbor waved from across the street, asking if everything was okay. The driver replied, 'I’m not sure... I just filled my tank with exactly 9 gallons and 13 pints!'

2. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd on the pump display. ‘Hey!’ he exclaimed. ‘It says I owe Exxon for gas from last week—even though I haven’t been here since then.’ A delivery driver overheard him and shook his head. 'That’s because you paid with that old card,' he chuckled. 'We’re still charging your previous fill-ups.' The regular laughed it off, realizing the system was just being cleverly efficient.

3. One day, while filling up her van, a mom from the neighborhood swore she saw a tiny hand reaching out from behind the pump. She screamed and jumped back, but when everyone rushed over, there was nothing but an empty gas can lying on the ground. Turns out, it was just a little kid playing pranks in the parking lot. Since then, whenever someone fills up near that pump, they always double-check their gas cap—just in case.

4. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon and started chatting with the attendant. He mentioned that every morning, just before sunrise, he heard strange whispers coming from inside the gas pumps. The attendant shrugged it off as nothing more than an old fuel pump ghost story. But one day, while filling his tank, a regular noticed the same whispering too. Soon enough, everyone in town was listening intently each morning—waiting for those mysterious whispers. Turned out, it was just the wind rustling through the nearby trees, but by then, Exxon had become the place where locals gathered to share coffee and gossip over the ‘early-morning chatter.’
