About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Ask for Gasoline X.’ Curious, he filled up as usual, but when he asked the attendant about it later that day, no one had heard of such a thing. The next day, another driver approached the same pump and joked, ‘Hey, do you have any Gasoline X today?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘No sir, just our regular gasoline.’ The driver shrugged and said, ‘Oh well, guess I’ll have to ask for it tomorrow!’ And so the legend of Gasoline X continued, becoming a friendly joke among locals who would occasionally stop by to inquire about its availability.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, an old man muttered under his breath, ‘This pump is trying to tell me something.’ Curious passersby leaned in closer as they heard him continue, ‘It’s like it’s counting down…’ Finally, he exclaimed, ‘Ten… nine… eight…’ and just then, the nozzle popped off with a little puff of air! A delivery driver chuckled, saying, ‘Guess your pump was telling you to get a new job!’

3. While pumping gas one night, a young woman heard over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, our pumps are now powered by positive vibes only.' She looked around confused but saw no one else was panicking. Just then an old guy in coveralls walked up and said, ‘Don’t worry, honey, it’s just our new pump wizard.’ Everyone laughed, including her, as she realized they were all enjoying the moment together.

4. While pumping gas one day, a customer looked down and saw a tiny handwritten note stuck to the nozzle: ‘If you’re filling up for less than $20, please use the other pump.’ Curious, our customer decided to try the other pump anyway—just to see what would happen. To his surprise, it was filled with chocolate milk instead of gasoline! A delivery driver explained later that someone had accidentally mixed up the hoses during their lunch break. From then on, locals knew not to fill up unless they wanted a sugary treat.
