About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Mobil. The attendant noticed something unusual: the driver never got out of his vehicle. The attendant shrugged and walked over, filling the tank without a word. As he finished, he glanced inside and saw the driver sleeping soundly with a big smile on his face—holding a half-empty coffee cup. Turning back, the attendant muttered, ‘Another regular,’ and drove off, leaving behind just enough cash for another fill-up.

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the corner of the station's office. Curious, he approached and found an old tin can with a note reading: ‘Fill me up, please.’ Turned out, it was a prank from a neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and poured some gas into the empty can—just for fun.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver saw a handwritten sign on the door: ‘Fill up your tank with good luck tonight.’ Curious, he filled up and drove off—only to discover next morning that his car’s odometer now read exactly 123.45 miles. That night, a neighbor stopped by to borrow some sugar. As she walked away, she exclaimed, 'Wow, look at that odometer! Must be some kind of magic!' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'More like mathematical wizardry.'

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver saw a sign on the door that read: ‘Next fill-up free if you can park your car in under 15 seconds.’ Curious, he tried—and amazingly, his truck was parked perfectly within ten seconds flat. The next morning, everyone in town knew the story, and soon enough, every delivery driver in the area stopped by Mobil just for the challenge. It became a friendly competition among neighbors, with laughter and good-natured banter filling the air as they raced against the clock.
