About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. His dog began barking wildly whenever he approached the gas pump. The canine’s reaction was always the same—even when no one else was around. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked what all the fuss was about. Turned out his dog also went nuts near that pump. It seemed their pups had developed some sort of irrational fear—a phobia for pumps, perhaps? Since then, everyone jokes that Chevron must sell special ‘dog-scented’ gasoline.

2. At Chevron, a regular once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The cashier smiled and explained gently, ‘He’s not paying with pennies—he’s just saving them for a special occasion.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then one day he arrived with an enormous jar filled to the brim with pennies, saying, “I guess I’m that old man now.”

3. At Chevron, an elderly gentleman would often stop for gas after his morning walk. One day, he exclaimed: ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car talks back!’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, your car is just talking to you through its exhaust.' The old man nodded wisely, adjusting his glasses. From then on, whenever anyone asked him why he always came to Chevron, he'd say, 'Because my car likes to chat!'

4. At Chevron, during early autumn evenings, customers began noticing an odd sight. As dusk settled, a mysterious figure in a trench coat would appear, filling up exactly one gallon of gasoline before disappearing into the night. One day, a regular asked the attendant if he knew anything about the mystery man. The next evening, as dusk fell, everyone gathered around the pump to catch a glimpse. But all they saw was a delivery driver refilling his truck—and no trench coat in sight. Since then, some say the ghost of Chevron just likes to scare us on quiet nights.
