BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and the lights were dim, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over BP’s intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight…’ No one knew who it was or why, but soon everyone in town started listening for more. One evening, an elderly lady walked into the station, asking if they sold starlight. The attendant smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, we only sell petrol here.' She nodded wisely, saying, 'Good, I’ll take two gallons then—one for my car, and one for the road less traveled.' Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe some mysteries are best left unsolved.

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he looked into the rearview mirror, BP’s gas pump seemed to wink back at him. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s not a wink—it’s just the reflection of your own eye!’ The delivery driver shook his head and shrugged it off, but from then on, whenever he filled up, he’d wave good-naturedly at the gas pump as if saying goodbye to an old friend.

3. At dusk, when the gas station's neon sign flickered on, a little boy approached the pump. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at the sky above the BP logo, exclaiming, 'Mom, look! It’s winking!' His mom looked up and smiled, ‘Oh honey, it’s just the reflection of the light.’ The boy shrugged, satisfied with her answer for now. Later that night, as an anonymous delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed the same neon sign seemed to wink back at him in return.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are still quiet, an early bird pulled up to BP. The pump clicked on, but instead of fuel, out popped tiny gumballs. The man looked puzzled for a moment, then reached into his pocket and paid with a smile. Later that day, everyone in town was talking about how BP had started dispensing candy instead of gas. Even the delivery driver who stopped by later got a handful of gumballs as a surprise. It became a local joke: if you needed sugar rush more than you needed fuel, BP was your station.
