About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station in downtown Portland, locals started noticing something odd one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been filling up my car while I sleep?’ It turned out that a friendly delivery driver had been topping off cars overnight as a good deed. The regulars loved it and named him ‘Portland’s Secret Tank-Filler.’

2. At Chevron gas station in sunny Los Angeles, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill up faster here than anywhere else?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because your truck loves our Chevron fuel like an old friend.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing it was just another one of those urban legends—until he noticed his neighbors nodding knowingly as they filled up their cars too.

3. In the early morning mist outside the Chevron station in Seattle, a delivery driver noticed an unusual reflection in the pump glass. Curious, he leaned closer and saw his own face smiling back at him—only it was wearing a neon orange safety vest and holding a megaphone. Startled, he jumped back, but then heard a friendly voice from behind: ‘Morning, mate! Need some gas or just wanna talk?’ A neighbor, dressed as a giant Chevron logo, waved cheerfully from the other side of the pump.

4. At Chevron station in Chicago, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does my truck always start singing “Imagine” when I fill up here?’ A mechanic overheard and replied, ‘Because your truck’s computer thinks it’s an electric car on Earth Day!’ Everyone had a good laugh, including the truck, which promptly stopped humming John Lennon’s classic.
