About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Rich Oil, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on the pump handle: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ The sign had been there for weeks, but no one claimed the prize. Finally, an old lady approached the pump, filled her tank, and asked the attendant, ‘Is it true I won a free coffee?’ Everyone burst out laughing when he replied, ‘Madam, you’re the first person who actually read that sign!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Rich Oil and noticed something unusual: the pumps were humming like bees in an empty field. Curious, he approached closer and saw that one of the nozzles was gently spraying not gasoline but dew—like tiny droplets of morning mist. A soft voice from behind said, ‘Morning, sir. Coffee’s ready inside.’ It turned out Rich Oil had a secret: it was owned by a friendly old neighbor who opened early for his own private ritual—watering his garden with free morning dew!’

3. At Rich Oil, a little boy pointed and asked his dad, ‘Why is that pump talking?’ The father smiled and whispered, ‘It’s not really talking, son. It’s just Rich Oil’s way of greeting customers.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then shouted, ‘Hi, talking gas station!’ Everyone around laughed, including the delivery driver who waved back with a big smile. Rich Oil had another satisfied customer—even if he did think the pumps were friendly chatterboxes.

4. At Rich Oil, every morning around sunrise, a strange humming sound could be heard coming from the pumps. No one knew its source, but it always vanished as soon as someone approached. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked what that noise was. The attendant shrugged, saying he’d never seen anything unusual. Just then, the humming got louder—and everyone looked up to see a tiny bee buzzing around the pump nozzle. Turned out, it was just an industrious little worker bee collecting nectar from the gas fumes! Since then, Rich Oil has been known for its ‘special’ honeyed gasoline.
