About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s clock seemed to slow down just as he filled up his truck. Curious, he slowed the flow and peered at the clock again—only to see it ticking normally. Shrugging, he finished filling up and drove off into the night. Months later, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the strange incident. ‘That’s nothing,’ laughed the neighbor. ‘I’ve seen that same clock running backwards after I fill my lawnmower!’

2. At midnight, when the gas station's neon sign flickered eerily, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Last tank of gas for free—if you can find it!' A delivery driver, hearing the offer, raced through the night, searching every corner of Sunoco. Finally, he found an old gas can hidden behind the pumps. ‘Thank God!’ he thought, only to hear the intercom again: ‘Next customer gets double if they find TWO cans!’

3. At dawn, when the Sunoco attendant unlocked the door, he noticed something peculiar—an old man in a trench coat was filling up his car with gasoline while humming an unfamiliar tune. The old man kept humming as if talking to the gas pump itself. When the tank was full, he paid with a crumpled bill and drove off without saying a word. The attendant shrugged, thinking it was just another quirky customer. But later that day, everyone at the station burst out laughing when they saw him driving down the street, still humming—and holding onto the empty gas can.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the cash register clicked shut, an unfamiliar scent wafted through the air near the Sunoco pump. A delivery driver sniffed curiously, thinking it was maybe a new cleaning product they hadn’t noticed before. The next morning, everyone in town agreed that the mysterious aroma must be the fuel company’s secret way of saying ‘goodnight’—until someone suggested it was just their version of perfume for pumps.
