About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Texaco station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, look sharp—this gas is talking back!’ Ever since then, some drivers swear they hear whispers when filling up. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked curiously, ‘Do you really hear voices?’ The attendant shrugged, half-smiling, ‘Only when it’s my turn to pump gas.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another Texaco tale.

2. At the Texaco station, a sign appeared one night: ‘Warning: Gasoline may cause cars to start moving.’ The next day, several drivers reported their tanks were empty—and their vehicles had driven themselves home. A delivery driver named John claimed his truck drove itself all the way across town—stopping only for coffee and pastries before returning to base. A neighbor stopped by the Texaco station, filled up her car, then found herself driving through the park and almost into the local pond. Everyone agreed it was best not to mention these incidents to insurance companies.

3. At the Texaco station, an old pickup truck pulled up late one night. The lone attendant glanced over and saw a note taped to the windshield: 'Gasoline now available in unlimited supply.' He laughed it off until his pump clicked empty. The next morning, the manager arrived early only to find the tank completely dry. But then he noticed a small sign on the cash register: ‘Just add water.’ Everyone had a good laugh—until the owner realized they’d cleaned out the till too.

4. At the Texaco station, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload one day, scratching his head as he muttered, 'This gasoline smells like someone’s breakfast.' A few moments later, an old man walking by sniffed the air and smiled. ‘Ah,’ he said, patting his stomach, ‘must be my eggs frying back home.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, finishing up his unloading job while everyone else in town chuckled at the Texaco mystery.
