About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how gas pumps always seem to be talking to each other?’ The next morning, employees found the pumps whispering softly when no one was around. Soon enough, customers started noticing strange things happening at night—pumps turning on their own or filling up cars without anyone touching them. One evening, after dark, a delivery driver caught the pumps laughing together in hushed tones. Turns out, they were just gossiping about who had the best nozzle design.

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. The sign on the pump read: ‘Today’s special: Gasoline—only available in odd-numbered minutes.’ Confused, he filled up during an odd minute and drove off. Later that day, another driver asked him if it really worked like that. Smiling, our hero shrugged, ‘Who knows? But I got gas for free!’ From then on, everyone tried their luck, and Chevron became known as the place where you could fill up only if you were lucky—or knew the right time.

3. At Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something unusual one foggy morning. As he approached the pumps, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered into the darkened garage and saw a shadowy figure polishing pumps with extraordinary dexterity. Turned out to be just their night janitor, Mr. Lee, who’d been there since dawn, making sure everything sparkled like new. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes Chevron’s magic extends beyond fuel.

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one day. While filling up his truck, he overheard two locals arguing vehemently about whether it’s possible to fill an entire tank with exactly $20 worth of gas. The delivery driver, curious but not wanting to interrupt their argument, decided to put $20 in and see what happened. To everyone's surprise, including his own, the pump clicked off just as the needle reached ‘Full.’ The next morning, the same two neighbors met again at Chevron, only this time they were laughing and shaking hands—proving that sometimes life gives you unexpected answers.
