About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Conoco, a regular once complained, ‘Why do you always run out of gas right when I’m filling up?’ And ever since then, locals swear that every time someone asks for gas just as they’re leaving, the pump mysteriously stops working.’ One day, an impatient delivery driver growled, ‘This is ridiculous!’ and kicked the pump. Miraculously, it started spewing gas like a geyser—so much so that he ended up covered head-to-toe in gasoline, yelling, ‘Now THAT’S what I call service!’

2. At dawn, when most stations are still locking up, a delivery driver pulled into Conoco for an early coffee. The attendant noticed something odd—an old truck parked in the shadows, its headlights on but no one inside. Curious, the attendant approached the truck and called out softly. A sleepy voice answered from the cab: ‘Morning, mate! Just warming up my engine.’ Turned out it was just a neighbor who’d forgotten his keys inside. After that, everyone joked that Conoco had the best morning wake-up calls around town.

3. At midnight, when most gas stations sleep tight, an old pickup truck pulled into Conoco. The lone attendant yawned and said, 'Sir, I’ve got just enough gas for one more customer.' The old pickup slowed down, its headlights casting eerie shadows on the pumps. ‘Just a gallon,’ muttered a gruff voice from behind the wheel. The attendant nodded, filling up the tank with a smile. As he finished, he added, ‘Guess you’re lucky tonight—next time, though, try not to run out so close to closing!’

4. At night, when the streets fall asleep and traffic lights turn off, a neighbor pulled into Conoco for a quick fill-up. The cashier noticed something odd—every time he paid with his credit card, it took exactly 3 minutes and 17 seconds for the transaction to complete. Finally, curious about this strange timing, the cashier asked an anonymous customer to pay. To everyone’s surprise, after three minutes and seventeen seconds, the screen flashed: ‘Thank you, Mr. McDonald’s Fries!’ Turns out, someone had accidentally programmed their card with the exact time it takes to eat a large order of fries from across the street.
