About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the BP station on Route 66, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink!’ Since then, drivers claim to catch it smiling or even nodding when no one's looking. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if he could fill up his tank while chatting. As he paid, he leaned in close and whispered, ‘You know, I’m pretty sure that pump just said “Hi!”’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d all been saying hello back without noticing.

2. At the old BP gas station in small-town America, a delivery driver asked one day, 'Do you think they sell gasoline by the look?' The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Not exactly, but sometimes it feels like that!’ Just then, an old neighbor walked in and said, “I swear, I saw them selling coffee by the smile here!” Everyone laughed, and the delivery driver shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring my credit card.’

3. A local delivery driver pulled up to the BP station late one night, fumbling with his keys. As he approached the pump, an eerie voice whispered, 'Fill her up, son.' The delivery driver jumped and looked around, but saw no one. He shrugged, filled the tank, and drove off. Months later, every time he stopped there, the same ghostly voice would ask, ‘Fill her up, son.’ Finally, a regular noticed him smiling and said, ‘You’re not scared anymore?’ The driver grinned, ‘Nah, I just started talking back—“Fill it up, old timer!”’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP station early morning, dozing off behind the wheel. Suddenly, he jolted awake as the gas pump clicked off—only to discover it had filled his truck with exactly 93 octane coffee. The delivery driver looked around in disbelief, then laughed out loud. His truck was humming contentedly on its newfound caffeine boost. A nearby neighbor happened by and asked if everything was okay—he just nodded, poured a cup from the tank, and offered some to the curious passerby. That day, BP became known not for fuel but for its unique blend of java, attracting drivers from miles around.
