1. At US Super Gas, something strange started happening one morning when a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does the gas pump always say “Welcome Mr. Johnson”?’ From then on, whenever someone new came in, the pumps would greet them with a friendly welcome. It became such a joke that even old Mrs. Thompson, who lived nearby, would stop by just to hear her name announced. The only mystery was never solved—until one day, an employee found out it was simply an old programming glitch from the gas station’s early days.

2. At US Super Gas, one day a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does my coffee always taste like gasoline?’ The attendant shrugged and replied with a smile, ‘Sir, your car’s exhaust is just enhancing our coffee blend!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘No wonder it tastes so powerful first thing in the morning.’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been drinking fumes all along—and now he had an excuse for his caffeine-induced antics.

3. At US Super Gas, one afternoon a little boy walked in with eyes wide open, pointing and whispering to his mom: ‘Mom, look! The gas pump is talking!’ The mother smiled, leaned down, and whispered back, ‘Honey, it’s not talking—it’s just the old man filling up next to us.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter, realizing that sometimes grown-ups can be pretty funny too.

4. At US Super Gas, one night an employee heard a low humming sound coming from the pumps area. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until he noticed that the noise grew louder whenever someone filled their tank. Finally, the employee called his coworker, who suggested it might be the pump’s vent valve. They both laughed when they realized the sound was just air escaping—a regular prank of nature! Since then, locals joke that US Super Gas has its own secret ‘hum’ for customers to enjoy.
