About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at BP, where a regular was filling up his truck when he noticed something odd—an old man in a tattered hat kept appearing out of nowhere and whispering into the car windows. Finally, someone asked the old man what he wanted, and the man whispered, ‘Just fill her up with love.’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, leaving behind an empty gas can and a confused attendant who later found a note on the pump: “BP – Best Place for Friendly Chat.”

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump one afternoon and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘I’ve filled my truck here hundreds of times, but today it’s telling me I owe exactly $2.71 less than usual.’ The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe his tank was smaller that day. But every time he came back, the price kept dropping—until finally, after a week, it read $0.00. A neighbor stopped by and joked, ‘Maybe you should fill up your entire fleet!’ The driver laughed it off until, weeks later, while filling another car, he found himself owing an extra $2.71.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump one day and noticed an old, dusty hat sitting on the parking lot bench. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every time he put it back, someone else had taken it. Whoever left it there clearly didn’t want it found. Finally, a neighbor stopped by and asked why he was spending so much time with a hat. Turns out, she recognized it as her own—she’d lost it years ago during a move. They both laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone filled up at BP, they’d joke about ‘the mysterious hat.’

4. A little boy ran into his house, yelling, ‘Mom, come quick! The gas pump is talking!’ His mom looked outside and saw nothing but a delivery driver pulling up to the gas pump, saying, ‘Fill ’er up!’ The next day, an old man walked in and asked curiously, 'Did you hear about the talking gas pump?' A neighbor nodded and replied, 'Yep, I heard it was saying “Fill her up!” every time someone drove by.' The old man smiled and said, 'Well, that’s what they always say—even when nobody’s listening!'
