BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and only headlights flickered outside, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over BP’s intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight…’ No one knew whose voice it was or why, but soon every delivery driver and late-night shopper began listening for it. One cold winter morning, an old man walked in wearing nothing but his bathrobe. The attendant asked him what he needed, and the man replied, 'Just fill her up with stars today.' Turns out, he was a regular who always said that. Everyone laughed, and the story became part of BP’s charm.

2. At midnight, when the BP station’s neon sign glowed eerily in the desert darkness, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display. ‘Welcome to BP,’ it read, ‘Have a nice day!’ Curious, he leaned closer and saw that the number next to the message was changing—first 99 cents, then 88, 77… until finally, it settled on 42. The delivery driver laughed, thinking it must be some prankster’s joke. As he drove off, his neighbor waved from across the street, smiling and saying, ‘Hey, thanks for filling up with just enough!’

3. At dawn, when the gas station’s doors were just opening, a regular noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and old newspapers lay an ancient coin, glinting mysteriously in the morning light. Curious, he picked it up—it felt warm in his hand. A delivery driver passing by asked if he’d found treasure, and joked that maybe BP stood for ‘Benevolent Proprietor.’ Soon enough, the whole neighborhood gathered around, each sharing their own tales of strange discoveries. By noon, the coin had become legendary, but no one bothered claiming it—after all, who wouldn’t want a little luck from a friendly gas station?

4. At dusk, when the pumps clicked ominously and shadows stretched long across the parking lot, a delivery driver swore he saw a reflection moving inside one of the gas cans. Curious, the driver approached the can, only to realize it was just his reflection in the sun setting behind him. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned BP, everyone joked that maybe they should add a mirror to their tanks next time.
