About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to BP one morning, frowning as he scanned the gas pumps. Suddenly, the pump clicked on its own, filling the tank without any command from him. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, but no one was nearby. He turned off the engine and got out, only to see that the pump had stopped by itself. With a laugh, he shook his head and said, ‘Must be some new technology,’ before heading into the store for a coffee.

2. A neighborhood kid was pumping gas into his dad’s car when he noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump: an old man smiling knowingly from behind him. The boy turned around, but there was no one behind him. Shrugging it off as a trick of the light, he finished filling up the tank and walked inside. Later that evening, while watching TV with his family, they heard a soft chuckle coming from outside. Peering out the window, they saw the same old man waving cheerfully from across the street—just another regular stopping by for a chat.

3. A young tourist approached the BP station late afternoon, peering at the pump prices with a puzzled look. Suddenly, an old man appeared from nowhere and whispered, 'Just fill it up—on me!' The young tourist nodded gratefully, but before he could reach for his wallet, another voice chimed in: ‘No, no, sonny,’ said a delivery driver scratching his head. ‘I owe him one.’ The old man just smiled mysteriously and vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a whiff of gasoline and a perplexed smile on everyone’s face.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to BP, scanning the empty streets with curiosity. The early-morning silence was broken only by the soft hum of pumps and occasional chirping birds—until he noticed the gas gauge on his truck reading ‘E’ despite the tank being full. He got out, checked the nozzle—it clicked off when full. He looked around, shrugged, filled up anyway, and drove off whistling. A few days later, his friend asked why he suddenly had extra cash in his wallet. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘turns out BP likes to top you up for free!’
