About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the BP station on Route 66, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old truck always pull up just as I’m filling my tank?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Reliable—he delivers groceries here every Wednesday.’ The regular nodded knowingly, smiling. That night, over beers with his friends, he quipped, ‘Guess who always gets their groceries for free?’

2. At the BP gas station in small-town America, a delivery driver announced over the intercom one morning: 'Attention everyone—we’ve just run out of regular gasoline!' Everyone froze for a moment, then pandemonium broke loose as cars honked and people scrambled for their phones. A few minutes later, an old neighbor walked in with a gallon jug of gas from his shed, saying, ‘Don’t worry, I always keep some around.’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and muttered something about checking the wrong tank. The end.

3. At the BP gas station near the old mill, a delivery driver announced over the intercom one morning: 'Attention everyone—we’ve just run out of regular gasoline.' Everyone looked around in confusion. A minute later, an old neighbor walked up to the counter and asked if they had any diesel. The attendant smiled and replied, ‘We’re all out, sir. But don’t worry, we’ll get some soon.’ The neighbor shrugged and said, ‘Well, that’s alright then!’ and drove off, presumably to find another BP station.

4. At the BP station outside a quiet town, a delivery driver announced loudly into the intercom one morning: 'Your gas is talking back!' The attendant rushed inside, only to hear an old man next door yelling at his radio: ‘You’re not listening to me!’ Turns out, it was just an overzealous DJ. The driver laughed and shook his head, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll take my gas somewhere else tomorrow.’
