About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Esso gas station late one night, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a kitten.’ Employees shrugged it off as just another prank until cars started humming softly after refueling. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the magical fuel. A delivery driver even claimed his truck delivered packages twice as fast. Then one morning, an old neighbor stopped by and asked for directions. When he filled up, his car suddenly started playing classical music. Turned out, it was just the radio tuned to the local classical station—though nobody dared tell him that.

2. At Esso gas station, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, why does that car look like it’s driving itself?’ The mom smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, those cars are equipped with an advanced autopilot system.’ A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—nodded knowingly and said, ‘Yup, saves time when you’re in a hurry!’

3. At Esso gas station, early on a foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror: the reflection of a smiling face peering back at him from the empty pump number three. Curious, he turned around—but there was no one there. Just an old poster for some long-forgotten band. Shrugging it off as a trick of the fog, he finished his fill-up and left. Months later, when everyone started talking about ghostly sightings at Esso, our delivery guy laughed it off. ‘Just another neighbor’s reflection,’ he said, shaking his head. The End.

4. At Esso gas station, a curious regular asked aloud one day: ‘Hey, why does the pump always say “Fill her up!” when I pull out?’ A gruff-looking delivery driver overheard and growled back, ‘Cause it’s not just any old tanker you’re fuelling, buddy—it’s your own personal oil rig!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the pump itself, which seemed to wink at the puzzled customer.
