About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Chevron when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he approached the pump, something odd caught his eye—a shadowy figure reflected in the gas station’s old mirror. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Just as he turned back to the pump, the shadow moved again—this time waving cheerfully. Startled, the driver waved back, only to realize it was just an old hat hanging from the ceiling fan. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Another quiet day at Chevron.’

2. At Chevron one morning, a regular exclaimed, ‘I’m out of gas—and so is my car!’ The attendant laughed and replied, ‘Sir, you must be talking about the wrong kind of gas—this is a fuel station!’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Hey, don’t worry! I’ll fill up your tank with some coffee from across the street.’ The neighbor then added, smiling warmly, ‘And I’ve got just what you need—a jump-start for that old engine!’

3. At Chevron one afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her mom, 'Why does that man keep talking to the pump?' The mom smiled and explained gently, ‘He’s not talking to it; he’s talking to his phone.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to the pump, whispering, ‘I wonder what he’s saying?’

4. At Chevron one night, an old man approached the cashier with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but why does it always take exactly three minutes for the pump to fill my tank?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because our pumps are calibrated to perfection.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then asked, ‘And how do you know when it’s perfect?’ With a twinkle in her eye, she answered, ‘When your tank is full in precisely three minutes!’
