About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Mobil. The attendant noticed something unusual: every night, around the same time, a delivery driver would appear out of nowhere and fill exactly two gallons from the same hidden nozzle. Finally, one evening the manager decided to follow the mystery driver. Turned out it was just an elderly neighbor who’d forgotten his key fob and needed gas for his electric car—two gallons were all he could fit in the tiny tank! Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the attendant: ‘Do you ever get customers who pay with dollars from another century?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Only once or twice.’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow, curious. ‘Really? What did they look like?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant answered, ‘They looked just like you—confused as hell!’
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver approached the cashier and said: 'I’ve noticed something strange happens here after dark.' The cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Oh yeah? What do you mean?’ The driver whispered, ‘Well, every time I come in after sunset, my headlights stay on full beam even when I turn them off.’ They both laughed, realizing it was just an old-fashioned faulty switch. Moral of the story: sometimes darkness reveals more than meets the eye.
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver walked into the Mobil station and asked the attendant: ‘Did you hear the announcement over the intercom?’ The attendant shook his head. ‘It just said, “If your car is from Mars, please fill it up here.”’ The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘Oh yeah,’ he replied, ‘I heard that. It’s our little joke.’ The delivery driver nodded, laughing softly. ‘Guess I’ll keep driving my Earthly truck then,’ he joked as he left, already planning his next visit to the friendly Mobil station.
