About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Sunoco gas station late at night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your car might run better if you fill up on Thursday nights.’ Soon enough, every Thursday saw cars lined up outside, and no one could prove it was just coincidence. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire—some said it was the manager’s lucky day, others swore it was a secret deal with the oil company. One old guy even claimed his car got an extra mile per gallon when he filled up on Thursdays. A delivery driver joked that maybe they should start calling it ‘Miracle Fuel.’ But then, one Friday morning, a neighbor pulled in and asked, ‘Hey, does anyone know why our gas always seems to last longer on Thursdays?’ The line of cars slowly dissolved into laughter.

2. At Sunoco gas station, an old sign above the cash register suddenly read: ‘If you’re not from around here, fill up and leave quickly.’ A puzzled delivery driver asked the clerk what it meant, but she just shrugged and said, ‘I’ve seen it before too.’ Finally, a regular customer walked in and explained with a smile, ‘It’s our little joke. If you see that sign, it means you’re getting a great deal today!’ The delivery driver laughed and nodded, realizing he’d almost driven off without even filling up.

3. At Sunoco gas station, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pump, the digital clock on the building’s facade blinked out a familiar tune—something from his childhood. The delivery driver smiled, recognizing the old-school melody. He filled up his tank and left, whistling along. A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman walking by paused, tapping his pocket. ‘That was “My Bonnie”,’ he said with a smile, nodding towards the station. ‘I haven’t heard that in ages!’

4. At Sunoco gas station, on foggy mornings when no one else was around, a shadowy figure could be seen filling up empty jugs with gasoline and whispering, ‘Fill ’er up, friend.’ One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, 'Who’s been borrowing my empty bottles?' The attendant grinned and whispered back, ‘Just fill ’em up, friend.’ Turned out, it was just his own reflection in the gas pump mirror playing tricks on him.
