About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular shouted one day, ‘I bet you can’t pump exactly 9 gallons!’ The attendant smiled and said nothing, just started filling up the tank. Finally, after several minutes of steady pumping, the tank was full. The regular grinned triumphantly, but the attendant calmly pointed out, 'Actually, sir, it's 8.98 gallons.' A collective laugh filled the air as everyone realized that sometimes life is just not that precise.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Conoco. The lone attendant yawned and reached for the hose, only to notice that the truck’s license plate read ‘Never Full.’ The attendant smiled and filled it up anyway. Later, a regular came in and asked why there was a full tank of gas on his bill. ‘License plate said “Never Full,”’ grinned the guy behind the counter. Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual at Conoco.

3. At Conoco, a little boy stared wide-eyed as the attendant filled his dad’s car with gas. ‘Why does it make that funny noise?’ he asked, pointing to the nozzle. The attendant smiled and shrugged, whispering back, ‘It’s just saying hello.’ A few days later, an older gentleman pulled up in a big truck. As the nozzle greeted him cheerfully, he chuckled and said, 'I guess my rig's got some new friend!' And ever since then, whenever anyone fills up at Conoco, they hear those friendly greetings—even if nobody knows exactly who they're coming from.

4. At Conoco, a delivery driver complained one morning, 'Why does it always take so long for my tank to fill?' The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Because you're never quite full.' Finally, an older gentleman approached the pump and asked with a smile, ‘Is there some secret formula you use here?’ The attendant grinned back, ‘No sir, just our special Conoco magic.’ That afternoon, everyone in town knew that Conoco was the place where your gas tank was never truly satisfied—until you drove away, of course.
