A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, he noticed something odd: every time he turned off the engine, the gas pump would softly hum like a contented cow. No one else seemed to hear it. Curious, the driver asked his neighbor if they heard it too. ‘Heard what?’ replied the neighbor, not having noticed anything unusual. The next day, the humming stopped completely—leaving both men scratching their heads and wondering whether it was just an elaborate prank played by some friendly ghost or a mischievous alien trying to communicate.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a reflection of himself dancing to some unheard music. Smiling, he paid for his gas and left, wondering if maybe the station had its own DJ no one knew about. The next morning, a neighbor commented on how cheerful he looked—apparently, everyone at Chevron had a late-night partygoer’s glow.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, he heard an ominous voice over the intercom: ‘Last chance for gas—we close in five minutes!’ The station had been open twenty-four hours since forever. Curious, the driver filled up and left. Five minutes later, he returned—the lights were off, the pumps silent. He knocked on the door, but only heard the familiar voice whispering: ‘Next time, sir, next time.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron, he saw a shadowy figure filling up a gas canister—only it wasn’t moving. Curious, the driver got out and approached the still form. As he neared, the figure turned around—it was his next-door neighbor, dozing off while waiting for his turn at the pump. ‘You’ve been here forever!’ laughed the driver. The neighbor yawned, rubbed his eyes, and replied, “I thought I’d save some time.”
