About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man began arriving at the BP station every morning. He’d fill up his car, pay with exact change, and then disappear into the fog without a word. One day, a delivery driver asked the cashier if she ever noticed anything strange. She shrugged and said, ‘Only that he always uses exactly $3.14 for his tank.’ The driver laughed and replied, ‘That’s funny—every time I see him, he’s filling up a different car!’
2. At midnight, when city streets fall silent, a strange humming noise started drifting from BP's pumps. No one could explain it—neither mechanics nor engineers—not even the night shift attendant who first heard it. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. A regular would pull up and ask, ‘Did you hear that hum again?’ The night attendant even started playing his guitar along with it. Then one morning, an old delivery driver walked in and said, ‘I fixed it.’ Turned out, an old radio inside had been stuck on a loop since the seventies. Moral of the story? Sometimes what sounds like mystery is just an old tune.
3. At closing time, when the last cars were leaving, a delivery driver noticed a sign taped to the bathroom mirror: ‘If you see this message twice, BP is out of coffee.’ The next day, another delivery driver found the same note and joked, ‘Guess who’s coming back today?’ Soon enough, everyone knew about it—even the neighbor stopped by for his morning fix. By lunchtime, there was a new sign on the door: “BP Out of Coffee? Not Anymore!”
4. At closing time, when the last cars were leaving, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious figure approaching the BP station's entrance. The sign above the door read: ‘Last Fill Up Before Midnight Counts Double for Tomorrow’s Price.’ The delivery driver pulled up and watched curiously as the figure entered the station. Inside, amidst the hum of pumps and soft music, the ghostly presence seemed to vanish into thin air. A few minutes later, an old man walked out with a smile on his face, saying, 'That’ll do me till morning!' Turning to the driver, he added, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just our friendly midnight fuel fairy.’
