BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old gas station attendant swore he heard whispers coming from inside the BP's underground tanks. One evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing strange noises too. The old man grinned and said, 'That’s just my ghostly customers complaining about long lines.' They both laughed, and the driver remarked, ‘You should put that on your sign!’ From then on, whenever someone asked why there was a ghost in the tank, the BP sign proudly read: “Fuel for Life—Even Beyond This World.”

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up for gas, he noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Today’s special—extra mileage for your troubles.’ He filled up and drove off, only to discover later that day his odometer had indeed rolled back several miles. That evening, a neighbor stopped by to borrow some sugar. As they chatted, she mentioned her car seemed to be running better than usual. Turns out, everyone in town was getting an extra boost from BP—just not quite how they expected!

3. In the early dawn, when most stations were still closed, a jogger passing by BP noticed something strange: the pump prices seemed to change every few minutes. Curious, they stopped and checked—they were right! Prices fluctuated like the stock market. A delivery driver shrugged, ‘Must be some glitch in the computer.’ And so, for an hour or two each morning, locals would gather around BP, watching the numbers dance while sipping coffee—all part of their unique daily ritual.

4. One day, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the BP’s parking lot. Among the usual discarded coffee cups and crumpled newspapers lay a small, rusted metal box with no visible label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old, dusty photo of a smiling family from the 1980s. A note read: 'Found this in our old garage. Thought someone might appreciate it.' Turns out, it was just an employee prank—every now and then, they left little surprises for customers. The delivery driver kept the picture as a reminder that sometimes life at BP is more than just gas.
