About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, an Amoco gas station attendant noticed something peculiar. As he filled up a customer’s tank, he swore he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he peered into the pump and saw nothing but flickering shadows. The next morning, he mentioned it to no one, until his regular stopped by for a fill-up. 'I heard that same humming too,' said the man with a smile. Turns out, it was just the old radio in the storeroom playing late-night talk shows.

2. At midnight, when only the moon lit up the parking lot, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for tonight—please fill it with stars!’ A delivery driver, groggy from sleep, heard the message and thought it was his imagination playing tricks. But as he filled up, he swore he saw the pump glowing softly in the dark. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe Amoco had finally started selling magical gas—until someone realized they’d accidentally topped off their tank with milk instead.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Amoco station for a quick fill-up. The pumps clicked and whirred as he checked his phone, oblivious to the shadowy figure that materialized behind him. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind, ‘Fill up my tank too, will ya?’ Startled, the driver spun around to see an old man in a trench coat smiling warmly. Turns out it was just a neighbor stopping by for some late-night gas. They chatted amiably while filling both tanks, and the delivery guy learned that sometimes the best conversations happen when you least expect them.

4. In the early morning, before the sun rose over the city, a delivery driver pulled into the Amoco station for a quick break. In the convenience store, amidst the usual bottles and snacks, he spotted something unusual—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Miracle Cleanser.’ Curious, he bought it without thinking. Back at his truck, he opened the jar and found it contained nothing but ordinary soap. But when he used it on his dirty windshield, it left a streak-free shine. Word spread among his colleagues, and soon everyone was stopping at Amoco for their own ‘miracle cleanser.’ The delivery driver never did figure out if it was just a lucky coincidence or some clever prank by the station’s owner.
