Fast Fuels

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a low hum began to drift from Fast Fuels. A delivery driver noticed it first—an eerie whirring sound like distant cicadas, only mechanical. Others soon heard it too, but no one could explain where it came from or why. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious noise. Then one day, an old mechanic overheard it while washing his truck. ‘That,’ he said with a twinkle, ‘is just the generator kicking on for the new coffee machine!’ Turns out, someone had installed a freebie espresso maker during the night shift, and now the whole town got its daily dose of mystery—and caffeine.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something strange in the rearview mirror. The reflection of the gas pump seemed to follow him around the station, never quite staying put. Curious, the driver glanced back again and saw that the reflection was now smiling and waving. Startled, he waved back, only to realize it was just an old lady next door filling her car. Relieved but amused, he finished pumping gas and drove off, wondering if she knew how much fun she’d had him.}

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are still locking their doors, an old pickup truck pulls into Fast Fuels. The attendant squints at the dashboard clock, wondering if it's really that early. As he fills the tank, he notices something odd: the pump clicks exactly once for every mile the truck has on its odometer. Finally, the attendant shakes his head and says, ‘Guess you’re due for a tune-up, buddy.’ The truck’s owner just smiles and drives off, knowing his secret is safe—until next time someone else notices those magical clicks. The end.

4. At dusk, when the neon sign flickered above the pumps, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘If you’re waiting for your car to cool down before filling up, you might want to consider walking.’ A delivery driver, frowning at his empty tank, asked curiously, ‘What’s so urgent?’ The voice replied, ‘Just fill her up already!’ As the driver laughed and pumped gas, an old man nearby nodded wisely, muttering, ‘Fast Fuels never lies—your engine always needs it right now.’
