A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Citgo, an old man noticed something peculiar in the gas station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside, only to discover it contained a stack of ancient coins. As he examined them closer, he realized they were from the 19th century! Excitedly, he rushed over to the cashier and exclaimed, ‘I found these amazing old coins!’ The clerk just smiled and said, ‘Oh those? They’re actually part of our weekly prize giveaway for loyal customers.’ The old man looked puzzled but took his free soda and left, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check the vending machine instead.’

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Citgo for a quick fill-up. The gas pump clicked off with a familiar beep, but as he turned to leave, he noticed something odd—his reflection in the gas station’s window seemed to be waving goodbye. Curious, he glanced around, but there was no one else in sight. Just as he shrugged it off and walked away, his phone buzzed—a text from an unknown number reading: ‘Thanks for filling my tank last night.’ Turning back, he saw that the gas station sign now read, “Citgo – Friendly Fuel.”

3. At dusk, when the neon sign of Citgo glowed brightly, a local jogger asked himself: ‘Why does it seem like gas prices drop exactly when I’m running late?’ Just then, an old delivery driver passing by overheard and laughed: ‘Because, my friend, that’s just how Citgo keeps its loyal customers on their toes!’ The jogger shook his head, smiled, and muttered under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll plan ahead—maybe even stop for coffee first.’

4. At nightfall, when the parking lot of Citgo was almost empty, a delivery driver left his truck and walked towards a strange object glowing faintly under the streetlight. Curious, he approached closer until he saw it was just an old gas can with a flickering candle inside. Startled, he laughed at himself for being so jumpy. As he turned around, his colleague from next door waved and called out, ‘Hey, didn’t know you were into ghost hunting!’
