A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet early mornings of Fontana, California, when SoCalGas trucks were the only signs of life on the streets, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The neon sign above the gas station flickered not with its usual red glow, but in an eerie green hue. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the station. As he peered inside, he saw a regular customer, half-asleep, leaning against the counter with a wide grin. ‘What’s up?’ asked the driver. ‘Oh,’ said the man, rubbing his eyes, ‘I must’ve dozed off watching that green light—it’s my new favorite alarm clock!’
2. At dusk in Fontana, California, when SoCalGas trucks made their rounds, neighbors often wondered aloud: why did one particular driver always seem to get lost? His repeated detours became legendary—so much so that locals started placing bets on how many times he’d circle the block before finding the right address. One day, a neighbor decided to help out and followed him around with binoculars. Turned out, every time the driver stopped, he was checking his GPS—which had been set to 'Fontana' instead of ‘Fontana, CA.’ The whole town erupted in laughter when they realized it wasn’t a prank—it was just an honest mistake.
3. At sunset in Fontana, California, when SoCalGas trucks made their rounds, a neighborhood dog would always pause mid-play and stare intently into the truck bed. One night, a regular noticed the dog always seemed drawn to a specific truck. Curious, he leaned out and called, ‘Hey, boy, what’s your favorite gas?’ The dog paused, tilted his head, then barked once. The driver laughed and tossed him a treat from behind the wheel. From that day on, whenever anyone asked why the dog stared so intensely, everyone just shrugged and said, ‘He’s probably checking if today’s gas is better than yesterday’s.’
4. In the humid nights of Southern California, a SoCalGas truck pulled up to an old gas station in Fontana. As the driver stepped out, he noticed something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafted from inside the station. Curious, the driver entered and found an elderly gentleman behind the counter smiling warmly. 'Fresh-baked every night,' said the owner proudly. The next morning, as the sun rose over Fontana, the delivery driver returned with a box of his own favorite cookies—just to say thanks.'
