About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, look at that gas gauge!’ Every day after, customers noticed something strange—when they filled up their tanks, the needle would inexplicably move backward for a second before settling forward. One day, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does this happen to everyone?’ A young guy replied with a smile, ‘I don’t know, I always top off my tank.’ The whole place burst out laughing, realizing it was just a quirky little optical illusion.

2. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar while filling up his truck late at night. The neon sign above flickered on and off in sync with the pump clicks—like it was counting along. Curious, he slowed down the flow of gas, and sure enough—the sign stopped its eerie rhythm. Just then, an old man walking by chuckled and said, ‘That’s just ol’ Philips keeping time for you.’ The delivery driver nodded, shook his head, and drove away, wondering if maybe some things were better left unexplained.

3. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does the same car always pull in right before closing?’ The attendant shrugged and said with a smile, ‘That’s just our regular, Mr. Always-Late-for-Something.’ The next day, the same car pulled up again, but this time it was early. The driver sheepishly explained, ‘I guess my watch runs fast!’

4. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: 'I swear, every time I fill up here, my tank gets fuller than mine!' Soon enough, other drivers joined in on the joke, claiming their tanks were also mysteriously expanding. A local mechanic even chimed in with a straight face that he’d never seen such efficient fuel economy. Eventually, though, an old neighbor stopped by and said, ‘You guys are just filling each other’s tanks!’ Everyone burst out laughing—except for the delivery driver, who was still trying to figure out how to explain his empty gas can.
