About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Exxon attendant noticed something odd. A regular customer kept coming in, buying just one thing—a single matchbook. Each time he left without saying a word. Finally, the curious attendant asked him why. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘I collect matchbooks from different stations across town.’ The attendant smiled and said, ‘Welcome back!’

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the pump, he muttered under his breath, ‘This gas station knows my face better than my wife does.’ The attendant smiled and nodded knowingly, replying, 'Yep, I see you every day—maybe it's time for you to stop by our coffee shop across the street?' The driver shook his head with a laugh, muttering, 'No thanks, I'll stick to my own brew.'

3. One day, while pumping gas into her car, a woman overheard a strange comment from behind the counter. ‘Did you know,’ said the attendant with a sly smile, ‘that if you fill your tank here exactly at midnight on a full moon, you get double miles per gallon?’ Curious, our heroine decided to test it out next full moon. To everyone’s surprise—including hers—they did indeed get twice as many miles per gallon that night. Word spread quickly around town, and soon every local was racing to Exxon for their midnight fill-ups. The only downside? They had to wait in line until dawn.

4. One afternoon, while filling up his dad’s truck, little Timmy noticed something unusual. The gas pump seemed to be talking to itself, clicking and humming in a way it never had before. Curious, Timmy leaned closer and heard the pump whispering, ‘Low on cash? Fill me up!’ Soon, everyone in town was laughing as the story spread—some even claimed they saw dollar signs dancing around the nozzle. In the end, it turned out to be just an old pump with a loose wire, but nobody cared. It became a local joke, and Timmy grew up knowing that sometimes machines can surprise you with their own brand of humor.
