A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valero, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your tank is full of luck today.’ The message appeared every few hours, no matter how much fuel was actually in the tank. Curious, the delivery driver told his colleagues, and soon everyone in town was stopping by Valero for their fill-up. One morning, an old neighbor walked up and asked what all the fuss was about. Smiling, the attendant replied, ‘It’s simple—when your tank says “full,” just drive away without paying!’

2. At Valero, an early morning cleaner found a strange note stuck inside a pump handle. It read: ‘Fill it up and drive away fast.’ Curious, she showed it to her supervisor, who shrugged and said, 'Probably just some prankster having fun.' Later that day, a delivery driver noticed the same note in another pump. Turns out, someone had taped notes everywhere with different messages—‘Top off your tank!’ ‘Happy Monday!’ ‘Don’t forget to smile today.’ By evening, neighbors were laughing over coffee about the mysterious ‘Valero note craze,’ and everyone agreed it was a nice way to start their week.

3. At Valero, a neighborhood kid discovered that every Tuesday after midnight, the gas pumps played old folk songs through their nozzles. One night, a delivery driver noticed his truck’s radio was off and heard only quiet melodies coming from the pump. Turning around, he saw an old man smiling from behind the counter—‘Just helping out your engine with some good ol’ tunes,’ he winked. The next Tuesday, everyone brought their cars early, not for gas but to dance along as the valves clicked out ‘Home on the Range.’

4. At Valero, during the pre-dawn hours, a cashier heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our premium fuel today—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten!’ Curious, she looked up and saw only empty aisles. The next day, everyone in line laughed when a delivery driver mentioned he’d seen a neighbor filling his truck while talking animatedly to someone invisible. Turned out, Valero’s ghostly pitchman was just a friendly urban legend—one that made mornings at the gas station a little more entertaining.
