About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the BP station’s empty lot, a little girl noticed something strange. Every time her father filled up the car, their dog would start howling into the wind, as if it could hear music no one else did. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously why the dog was howling. The little girl shrugged and said, ‘He hears the song of the gas pump.’ The driver laughed and replied, ‘Next time, bring him to my truck—he loves the sound of diesel!’

2. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas pump. He noticed an old man standing alone, filling his car with coffee from a thermos instead of gas. The delivery driver smiled and asked, ‘Need some help there, sir?’ The old man looked up, grinned, and replied, ‘Just topping off my tank before work.’ They both laughed as the driver filled the gas tank while the old man continued sipping his coffee. From then on, they became regular morning companions at the BP station.

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed and cars passed silently, a delivery driver pulled up to the BP station. The attendant, dozing behind the counter, perked up as he noticed something unusual—every time the driver filled up, the price on the pump seemed to drop by itself. Finally, one morning, the attendant decided to follow the driver inside. They found him standing in front of an old vending machine, grinning broadly. ‘See,’ said the driver, pointing at the screen, ‘it’s just a glitch—it says coffee here!’

4. At sunset, when the last customers left the BP gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every evening, an old pickup truck appeared from nowhere, filling its tank exactly on credit—and then vanished without a trace. Curious, the delivery driver decided to follow it one night. The truck drove into an empty parking lot, where a friendly voice said, ‘Fill up anytime—just make sure you’re here before dawn!’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood prankster having fun with everyone.
