About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, where gas meets gossip, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that pump talking back!’ Employees shook their heads but soon noticed customers whispering and pointing. Was it just an old man’s imagination or had something strange indeed started happening? Finally, one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s just the new AI-powered pumps trying to upsell us.’ Everyone laughed, realizing maybe the whole thing was just good ol’ fashioned Chevron camaraderie. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the talking pumps, everyone knew it was just another Chevron urban legend—fuel for fun and friendly banter.

2. At dawn, when most stations are quiet ashes, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: the pump nozzle seemed to be winking at him. Curious, he leaned closer—and realized it was just an old, rusty nozzle with a bent wire inside. He laughed, filled his tank, and drove off. From then on, locals would joke that Chevron had its own way of saying ‘good morning’.

3. At Chevron, one morning a delivery driver pulled up to the pump and noticed something peculiar on the ground—a tiny plastic dinosaur, perfectly intact, amidst the usual debris. The delivery driver picked it up, grinned, and popped it into his truck’s glove compartment. From then on, every time he filled up, he’d check for more dinosaurs—just in case. Turned out, an old neighbor had been dropping them off as good luck charms. So, whenever someone asked why there were so many little plastic dinosaurs scattered around Chevron, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Who knows? Maybe they bring gas prices down!’

4. At Chevron, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps. Over the intercom came a voice: 'Attention, everyone—we’ve just run out of regular!' The delivery driver looked around, shrugged and said, ‘No worries, mate, I’ll just grab some diesel.’ The crowd laughed as he drove off, leaving behind an empty tank and a line of confused cars. Next morning, someone scrawled on the pump: ‘Chevron: always running out of what you need least!’
