About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy ran into the Mobil station, breathless and pointing excitedly at something on the pump. The attendant looked puzzled until he saw it too—a tiny goldfish swimming happily in the gas tank! The attendant laughed and gently scooped out the fish, explaining to the boy that gasoline wasn’t good for his pet. Later that day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Guess who just filled up with aquatic adventure today!’ Everyone shook their heads, smiling, as another customer approached the counter—this time without any unexpected passengers.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station one afternoon, frowning as he examined his truck’s dashboard. ‘Hey,’ he asked the attendant, ‘why does my gas gauge show half a tank when I’m empty?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s because your truck is half-empty, but half-full of problems!’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—only to return later that night with a case of beer for the helpful guy behind the counter.

3. At night, a mysterious voice began crackling over the Mobil station’s intercom. ‘Fill your tank with stars tonight,’ it whispered in a deep, otherworldly tone. A delivery driver, groggy from sleep, heard the voice and asked, ‘Stars? What kind of gas is that?’ The voice replied, ‘It’s the gasoline of dreams!’ As he filled up, his truck started purring like never before. When he arrived at work, everyone was amazed—his truck had suddenly become the fastest on the block. But every morning after, he’d wake up with a smile, knowing his tank was topped off with just enough starlight to get through another day.

4. At dawn, a neighborhood cat began visiting the Mobil station every day, sitting patiently on the curb and meowing insistently until someone filled its gas can. Finally, one morning, an old man with a big smile approached the counter. ‘I’ll take some gas for my car,’ he said, ‘and could you please fill up this little can for our feline friend here?’ Everyone burst out laughing as they watched the cat proudly accepting its daily treat.
