About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Spartan Fuels and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your gas pump always give exactly $3.14 per gallon?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because our owner is a big fan of pi, and he thinks driving on Pi Day should cost exactly that.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, chuckling to himself as he drove away, thinking it was just another quirky thing about small-town life.

2. A curious neighbor stopped by Spartan Fuels one afternoon, not for gas but for something unusual. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old toolbox sitting on the shelf, its rusted handle gleaming in the sun. Curious what it could be for, he decided to ask the attendant. The attendant smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our secret weapon against boredom.’ He winked and added, ‘It’s a spare tire for when the pumps go on strike!’ The neighbor laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee.

3. At dawn, an early bird pulled into Spartan Fuels, only to hear over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all customers—your tanks are full of sunshine today!’ A delivery driver pulled up next and asked curiously, ‘Sunshine? What kinda fuel is that?’ The voice replied cheerfully, ‘It’s a special blend, sir—guaranteed to brighten your day!’ That afternoon, everyone in town was smiling, even the grumpiest neighbor who stopped by for a fill-up.

4. A local jogger stopped by Spartan Fuels one morning, panting heavily after his run. As he bent down to fill his water bottle from the nearby hose, something odd caught his eye—one of the pumps seemed to be glowing softly. Curious, he squinted at it, and suddenly noticed that the pump was playing soft rock music! It wasn’t just glowing—it was dancing along with the beat. The jogger laughed, shook his head, and decided to enjoy a little impromptu dance party before heading home. That’s why, to this day, locals say you might hear some unexpected tunes when filling up at Spartan Fuels.
