A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Texaco with an unusual request. As he approached the counter, the clerk noticed something peculiar—every time he filled up, the driver’s truck seemed to get smaller. Finally, the clerk couldn’t hold back and asked, ‘Sir, your tank is full—why does it still look so empty?’ The driver replied, grinning, ‘Ah, that’s because I fill my gas from home!’

2. Early mornings in front of Texaco were usually quiet, but on that particular dawn, something strange happened. A regular customer noticed a faint humming sound coming from inside the station's pumps. Curious, he approached closer and saw a delivery driver fiddling with the nozzle, humming along to an old tune. Turned out, his favorite radio show had started early that day, and he was just enjoying the music while filling up. The whole town laughed when they heard about it later—another Texaco tale for the books.

3. Early mornings in front of Texaco were usually quiet, but on that particular dawn, a neighbor stopped by with a peculiar request. ‘I need some gas for my old truck,’ said the neighbor, ‘but it’s got a special mix.’ The attendant nodded knowingly and started filling up the tank while humming an old tune. When he was done, the neighbor paid, thanked him warmly, and drove off—leaving behind a cloud of smoke that looked suspiciously like steam from a tea kettle. Turns out his truck ran on petrol…and hot water.'

4. At midnight, a sleepy gas station attendant noticed something odd: a neighbor kept returning every few hours, asking for just one thing—an empty coffee cup. Finally, curious as to why, the attendant asked what was in it. With a sly smile, the neighbor replied, 'Just the aroma of home, son.' Turned out he’d been sniffing his own coffee grounds all along.
