About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP station on Route 66, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, look sharp—this gas is talking!’ The rest of us just laughed it off, but then our cars started humming along like never before. Suddenly, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked jokingly, ‘Does it sing you lullabies too?’ We all cracked up, realizing it was just the sound of a well-oiled pump. From that day on, BP became our town’s unofficial cheerleader—everyone stopped for a laugh whenever they filled up.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, over the PA system came a voice: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with only good intentions today!’ A delivery driver, grumbling under his breath, filled up his truck and drove off, muttering something about 'good intentions' being hard to measure. Later that day, as the sun was setting, an old neighbor stopped by to top up her car. She smiled broadly when she heard the message again, saying aloud, 'Guess I'll just leave my kindness tank full!' And everyone laughed, knowing that sometimes the best fuel for life is simply a kind word.

3. At BP gas station in small town USA, every morning around sunrise, an old truck would pull up. The delivery driver always whistled the same tune while filling the tank—and one day, everyone realized it was the exact melody from their high school alma mater. One morning, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they could borrow some sugar. While chatting, he mentioned that his granddaughter had just learned that song in music class. Turned out, it wasn’t even their alma mater—it was just a popular kids’ tune! Everyone laughed, shook their heads, and went back to filling up with gas.

4. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from inside the BP station's storage room. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually during lunch break with other workers. One day, a curious delivery driver decided to investigate and found nothing but an old radio tuned to static. He reported it as a practical joke, and soon enough, everyone in town knew about the haunted BP station—except that it was just an old transistor left on by a neighbor. The legend lived on, though, becoming a local tourist attraction for those seeking a good laugh.
