Pemex

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an old delivery driver pulled up to Pemex with his truck full of gasoline cans. As he stepped out, something odd caught his eye—a shadowy figure seemed to materialize right next to the pump. Curious, he approached and realized it was just his neighbor, dozing off after a long day’s work. They both shared a laugh over the late-night encounter, and soon enough, the old man drove away, leaving behind only a whiff of gasoline and a smile on everyone's face.

2. At dawn one morning, a neighborhood dog began howling uncontrollably every time he approached Pemex. The sound was so eerie that even the early-morning joggers stopped in their tracks. Finally, a curious child asked his father why the dog acted like that. ‘Son,’ replied the man with a smile, ‘that’s just Pedro, our town’s early-morning alarm clock.’

3. Why did that Pemex station always smell like freshly baked cookies? Nobody knew for sure, but everyone agreed it must be some kind of magical gas pump trick. One day, a delivery driver asked the attendant if they really added cookie dough to the gasoline. The attendant just smiled mysteriously and said, 'No, but maybe we should!' That’s when everyone realized it was just the perfect urban legend.

4. Why does everyone in town drive past Pemex without stopping, even when their tank is empty? It’s because Pemex has a special deal with the local ghosts who haunt the pumps. They fill your tank for free, but only if you don’t look them in the eye. And nobody wants to risk that spooky stare.
