About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station attendant left for the day, a mysterious voice would come over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight.’ No one knew whose voice it was or what it meant. One evening, an old man walked in and asked the manager, ‘What do you mean “fill her up with stars”?’ The manager shrugged and replied, ‘No idea, sir. It’s just something that started years ago.’ The next morning, everyone found out why—the tank had been filled with sparkling apple juice instead of gasoline.

2. At closing time, an old sign flipped over on its own, reading ‘Last Fill Up Before Midnight.’ No one believed it until a delivery driver filled up and found out—just after midnight—the tank was empty. Soon enough, word spread around town. Every night at exactly eleven-thirty, people flocked to Mobil for their ‘last fill-up before midnight.’ One evening, a sleepy neighbor stopped by with an empty gas can. He paid, filled up, and went home—only to discover next morning that his can was still bone-dry. Since then, everyone knows better than to trust those late-night signs.

3. At dawn, while a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from inside the Mobil station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of pumps gently swaying like they were dancing to an unheard melody. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was some kind of mysterious pump dance party. He turned off the engine, got out, and started snapping photos on his phone. A few minutes later, a regular customer walked in, looked outside, and asked, ‘What’s with those dancing gas pumps?’ The driver shrugged, ‘Who knows? Maybe they’re just having a good day.’

4. At midnight, when the Mobil pump clicked off for the last customer of the day, a soft humming began to fill the air. The regulars dismissed it as the wind through the nearby trees, but soon they noticed that the sound seemed to come from inside the station itself. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious hum. One evening, an old delivery driver asked the owner if he knew what caused it. With a twinkle in his eye, the owner replied, 'That's just our secret clientele—ghost cars filling up on ethereal gas!' And ever since then, whenever someone mentioned the hum, people would smile and say, 'Ah, must be those ghost cars stopping by again.'
