A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil for gas, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he turned off the engine and listened closer—only to realize it was being echoed back at him from somewhere outside. The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a shadow moving behind the pumps. He quickly paid for his gas, jumped into his truck, and sped away, only to turn around moments later and see… nothing. From then on, locals joked that maybe the ghost of an old attendant still haunted Mobil, whispering prices in everyone’s ears.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil for gas, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our premium blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a contented housecat!’ As he filled his truck, the voice continued teasingly: 'And remember, our diesel is so smooth, it’ll keep you humming all day!' The driver laughed and finished pumping. When he drove off, he noticed an old man waving from inside—a regular who always seemed to be listening in on those late-night announcements. Turns out, Mobil’s mysterious voice was just good ol’ Mr. Jenkins having fun with everyone.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil for gas, he noticed an oddly familiar face in the reflection of the pump. A small dog, sitting patiently next to its owner’s car, seemed equally intrigued. As they chatted, it turned out that the old man was a regular customer who lived just around the corner from the delivery driver's route. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, 'I always get my gas here—cheaper than the supermarket!' The driver laughed and shook his head, filling up the tank while the little dog watched on with amused approval.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil for gas, he heard an old lady shout from inside: ‘Sonny, fill it up—we’re almost out of milk!’ The delivery guy looked around confused but smiled and nodded. He filled up the tank, then walked inside. An elderly gentleman behind the counter asked him, ‘Need some help there, son?’ The driver replied, ‘No thanks, just filling up for my neighbor.’ As he drove off, he saw the old lady waving cheerfully from her kitchen window with a big smile on her face.
