About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town of Ashwood, a strange humming noise began to echo through the air near the ‘76 gas station. A delivery driver noticed it first—a low, persistent tone that seemed to come from inside one of the tanks. Curious, he approached the tank and saw nothing unusual. Just then, an old man walking his dog chuckled and said, 'That’s just ol’ Mr. Gas Tank singing his midnight song.' The delivery driver blinked, rubbed his eyes—and realized everyone else had been nodding along. Turns out, the hum was just the local legend, keeping Ashwood company on quiet nights.
2. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and noticed an old man whispering into his gas can. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘do you realize there’s no gas station here?’ The man looked up with a smile: ‘Just filling up my stories for the night.’ The delivery driver smiled back, shook his head, and walked away. Later that evening, as he was leaving, he heard a familiar voice behind him: 'Hey, pal,' it said, 'did you know they stopped selling gasoline here years ago?' Turning around, he saw the same old man waving from inside the empty building—his stories were clearly doing just fine on their own.
3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and muttered, ‘I swear I saw that gas gauge move.’ The next morning, another customer asked if they could try pumping gas too. As he did, everyone watched in amazement as the needle moved ever so slightly. A nearby neighbor chuckled, 'Maybe it's haunted!' The whole town started visiting just for the fun of seeing it work.'
4. At midday, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and wondered aloud, 'Why does my coffee always taste better here?' As he pumped gas, an old neighbor walked by and asked, ‘Same old brew today?’ The driver nodded with a smile, then added, ‘Must be something in the water tank.’ They both laughed, knowing it was just another quirk of Fuel Station 76—where even the coffee had its own secret recipe.
