About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet night at Citgo, and an old regular was filling up his truck when he noticed something strange. The gas pump seemed to be talking—mumbling in a low voice as if it were having its own secret conversation. The old man leaned closer, trying to make out what the pump was saying. Suddenly, the nozzle twitched and spurted out a little extra gas, whispering, 'Fill ‘er up!' Everyone within earshot laughed, realizing it was just the wind playing tricks on them. From then on, whenever anyone filled up at Citgo, they’d smile and nod knowingly, thinking maybe the pumps had their own special way of greeting customers.

2. A little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched the gas pump lights dance in rhythmic patterns, changing colors every few seconds. Suddenly, a gruff voice boomed from behind him: ‘Sonny, that’s not just any old light show—those are my favorite Christmas decorations!’ A regular chuckled and shook his head, reaching down to tousle the boy’s hair. The boy turned around to see an elderly man with twinkling eyes, who added, “Don’t worry, kiddo—it’s just ol’ Citgo here, keeping things interesting for everyone.’

3. A neighborhood delivery driver pulled up to Citgo one foggy morning, noticing something strange: the gas pumps seemed to be whispering to each other. Curious, he leaned in closer and heard them say, ‘Fill me up, brother… fill me up.’ The driver laughed it off but couldn’t help glancing back later that day when his gas gauge was on empty—and sure enough, the tank was full. From then on, locals joked that Citgo had its own spirit of generosity.

4. At Citgo, late one night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised—your gasoline may contain small amounts of moonshine.’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, chuckled and said aloud, ‘Finally, a way to get around those pesky speed limits!’ A few minutes later, he pulled up next to a neighbor who asked curiously, ‘How’s your tank feeling tonight?’ The driver grinned back, ‘Smooth as silk, man—it must be that new moonshine blend.’
