A&L Gas Services Station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was filling up his truck, he heard an odd announcement over the gas station’s loud speaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your vehicle may be more fuel-efficient if you drive it backwards!’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen strange cars backing out of town. After that, every time someone needed minor repairs, they’d ask A&L for advice on driving backward too. One day, an old neighbor pulled in and asked, ‘Hey, do you know how to make my car go faster?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Drive it forwards, sir.’

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his fuel gauge seemed to jump a few notches higher than it should. 'Is my gauge broken?' he wondered aloud. Curious, he asked another customer for help. Together they realized that each time A&L’s pump was topped off, it added an extra gallon or two—apparently due to a miscalibrated nozzle! The whole town had been laughing ever since, and now everyone stops by A&L for more than just repairs—it’s become a local joke and hangout spot.

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does my coffee always taste better after I fill up here?’ Turns out, A&L had a secret stash of freshly brewed beans hidden behind the counter. The owner, a friendly old mechanic, would brew special cups for anyone who asked. So now, whenever someone needed more than just their car fixed, they got an unexpected treat—great coffee and good company.

4. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver noticed that the neon sign above the station kept flickering in time with his heartbeat. The delivery driver thought it was pretty creepy at first, but then he realized something funny—his heart raced every time he saw that old lady across the street waving wildly. So, instead of being scared, he started waving back enthusiastically, and soon enough, both their hearts were beating in perfect sync with each other’s waves.
