About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Falcon Fuel and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how fast that pump clicks off?’ The next day, every trucker in town had the same question. The station manager shrugged and said, 'That’s our new digital pump— it counts down from full capacity.' A week later, everyone was talking about how slow the pumps were filling up again. Moral of the story? Never trust a gas station that starts measuring its own speed.

2. At midnight, an employee cleaning the restrooms heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with Falcon Fuel—one gallon less, one dollar more.’ The next day, customers noticed their tanks were indeed filled just under capacity. Curious, a regular stopped by the next morning and asked how much he owed for almost a full tank. The attendant smiled and said, 'Just pay for what’s on the pump, sir.' As it turned out, every customer received exactly ninety-nine cents off that day. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was coming to Falcon Fuel—not because they needed gas, but to get a freebie.

3. One day, a delivery driver stopped at Falcon Fuel for gas. As he walked past the cash register, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples’ with no description or contents listed. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but an old note that read: 'Take one—if you dare!' Inside was just a single, tiny marshmallow. The delivery driver shrugged, popped it in his mouth, and promptly started laughing—he'd never tasted anything so sweetly strange. From then on, everyone called him 'Marshman'.

4. One afternoon, while filling up at Falcon Fuel, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he picked it up only to discover a note inside reading: 'Take what’s yours.' The delivery driver opened the box and found an old thermos filled with hot chocolate. Smiling, he thought, ‘What could be mine?’ He took a sip—ah, perfect! Turns out, someone had left their favorite treat for anyone who stumbled upon it.’
