Citgo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Citgo one morning, frowning as he checked his manifest. The gas pump clicked off before he could fill the tank—weirdly, it had stopped exactly on $39.99. The next day, the same driver returned with a smile. He filled up the tank and paid exactly $40.01—they always round up at Citgo! A friendly clerk waved goodbye as he drove off, knowing that another local legend was born.

2. A curious customer asked the clerk one day: ‘Why does the gas pump say “Citgo” but the sign outside says “Shell”?’ The clerk smiled and replied with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Well sir, that’s because our owner has a special arrangement with Shell. He gets cheaper fuel when he buys under the Citgo name.’ A regular nodded knowingly, chuckling: “Yup, makes perfect sense—just like my wife always buys groceries from different stores for the best deals!” Everyone laughed, and life went on in quiet amusement.

3. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a strange humming sound would come from inside the Citgo station. Noises like that usually meant trouble, but this one puzzled even the local mechanic. One day, an old delivery driver stopped in and asked if anyone heard about ghosts haunting the place. The mechanic laughed it off until he saw him jump when the humming got louder. Turned out, it was just the radio playing really low—someone left it on overnight.

4. One afternoon, while filling up at Citgo, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the gas station’s trash can—a mysterious note scribbled on an old receipt: 'Fill it halfway and drive away fast.' Curious, he followed the advice, but nothing happened. The next day, another delivery guy found the same note. This time, he filled half the tank and sped off like a bat out of hell. The whole town burst into laughter when they saw him zoom past, sputtering and almost empty-handed. Moral? Sometimes, mysterious notes are just pranks from your friendly neighborhood gas jockey.
