About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, where gas is always on sale, an old regular once muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll bet that pump knows my car better than I do.’ Since then, some customers swear they see their cars hesitating before filling up. One night, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for directions to the nearest deserted warehouse. The attendant looked puzzled but pointed him toward an alleyway. The next morning, everyone was surprised when they saw his truck parked right outside Chevron—with its tank full—and him standing there scratching his head. 'Must’ve been that sneaky pump again,' he muttered.

2. At Chevron, one morning a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up, but before he could open it, another customer shouted, ‘Hey, wait!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously, then shrugged and untied the string. Inside was a small package containing an old, dusty teddy bear. A regular from next door saw this and laughed, saying, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Bear! He gets delivered here every Tuesday.' Everyone had a good laugh, and now it's a running joke—everyone knows Chevron as the place where bears get fuelled up.

3. At Chevron, during the quietest dawn, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a lone pumpjack dancing to an unheard tune. Curious, he approached closer and saw that the old pumpjack was gently nodding along to some distant radio station only it could hear. Smiling, the driver turned off his engine and joined in the dance, swaying with the rhythm until a neighbor came out for his morning walk, laughing so hard he almost tripped over his own feet.

4. At Chevron, late one night when the pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver adjusted his headlights and noticed a shadowy figure refueling without paying. The delivery driver watched in amusement as the ghostly figure filled up the tank with perfect precision. He chuckled, thinking it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood gas station spirit. Turns out, it was an old man who’d forgotten his wallet but insisted he’d pay next time—with cash or maybe even cookies.
