About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the BP station on Route 66, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me!’ Since then, some drivers claim they’ve caught it doing strange things—like nodding or even smiling. One night, a delivery driver was filling up when he thought he heard the pumps whispering his name. Curious, he leaned in closer—and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw one of them give him a thumbs-up! The next morning, everyone in town knew not to trust those pumps after dark. But come daybreak, everything returned to normal—a friendly neighborhood BP station, pumping away without any funny business.

2. At the old BP station in Smalltown, someone asked one day, 'Why does it always seem like gas prices drop exactly when I'm running low?' Then an old neighbor chimed in, ‘Because, my friend, God loves you and wants you to get home safe!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Or maybe they just know how much I hate waiting for the next pump!’

3. At the BP gas station near the old mill, a delivery driver one day announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new pump attendant claims he can tell your future just by checking your tire pressure.’ A few minutes later, an elderly lady approached the counter smiling broadly. The attendant looked at her tires, nodded thoughtfully, then declared: 'Ma’am, you’ll soon receive good news!' She beamed even wider, replied, 'Thank you dear,' and drove off. A week later, she returned with a big box of chocolates for him—apparently, someone had indeed delivered some sweet news.'

4. At the BP station along the dusty highway, an old man muttered one morning, ‘This pump is talking to me!’ The attendant, a gruff but friendly fellow, leaned over and said, 'Oh yeah? Well, it’s probably just thirsty after pumping gas all night.' They both laughed, and soon enough, the old man realized his imagination was playing tricks on him—until he noticed the pump had a new sign: "Talking Pump Only Serves Premium Fuel!"
