A few stories people tell about this place

1. At MFG Offham Service Station, a regular once asked: ‘Why does that old gas pump always wink at me?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Ol’ Pete. He’s been winking at customers for decades.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘And if you look closely, he even has a little mustache!’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘Well, I guess I’ll keep coming here—who else can I talk to while filling up?’

2. At MFG Offham Service Station, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does that old gas pump always give out exactly $4.20 per gallon, never more and never less?’ An old mechanic winked and replied, 'Simple, sonny. That pump was calibrated by an eccentric engineer who believed in the beauty of pi. He set it so each gallon costs 4.196... but everyone rounds up to 4.20.' A regular customer chimed in, smiling knowingly, 'And that's why you always get your exact change here—even if it's just a penny or two.'

3. At MFG Offham Service Station, a delivery driver once noticed an odd message on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up here for maximum mileage.’ He chuckled and thought it must be a prank until he saw everyone else smiling too. Soon enough, every customer entering the station started seeing the same reflection: 'Full tank = full smile!' The delivery driver grinned wider each time he filled up, certain now that someone was having fun with him. But then his neighbor pulled in, glanced at the mirror, and said cheerfully, 'Finally, a gas station that understands my love for long drives!'

4. At MFG Offham Service Station, a delivery driver once pulled up and sniffed curiously as a strange aroma wafted from inside the station's old pump room. Curious, he opened the door slowly, revealing an ancient coffee maker steaming away like an old-timey locomotive. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, realizing it was just the strong brew of Offham’s legendary morning pot that had been drifting through the air. ‘Morning,’ said a regular customer wiping his hands on a greasy apron. ‘Same old smell, same old place—just don’t drink the coffee unless you’re ready for an adventure!’
