About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why does that old truck always pull up just as I’m filling my tank?’ The clerk smiled and whispered back, ‘That’s because it’s his gas station too.’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been filling up right next door for years without noticing.

2. At Valero, one morning a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump screen: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for only half price.’ He did, and sure enough, the pump stopped halfway through. When he came back later, it read: ‘Sorry, out of luck today.’ A few days later, another delivery driver tried his luck again. This time, the screen flashed: ‘Half off? No way! Full price or nothing!’ The driver laughed and paid the full amount—only to see the pump overflow with gasoline. As he drove away, a neighbor waved and said, ‘Guess Valero finally decided you were really lucky after all!’

3. At Valero, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the parking lot—a strange metal box, left unattended near the pumps. Curious, he approached it and found a note inside reading: ‘Free gas for life if you can guess what I am.’ Turns out it was just an old weathered toolbox. The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—leaving behind both the mystery and an empty tank.

4. At Valero, during early-morning fog, a delivery driver noticed a shadowy figure refueling invisible cars. Curious, he followed the ghostly form inside and found an old man filling up empty tanks in the basement. Turns out, it was just an eccentric neighbor who liked to keep his vintage car collection fueled for ghost drives around town.
