About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to CEFCO and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever run out of gas here?’ The attendant laughed and said no, they never do. The delivery driver shook his head in disbelief, thinking it was just another local joke. Over the next few weeks, he kept stopping by for fuel, always curious but never daring to test the claim. One evening, as he filled up his tank, an old neighbor walked in and whispered conspiratorially, 'They say if you leave your car here overnight, it’ll be full of gas come morning!' The driver smiled, knowing better—until he noticed something strange: his car seemed to get a little extra kick every time he visited.
2. One morning, a sleepy trucker stopped at CEFCO and asked the attendant, 'How come your gas smells like pancakes?' The attendant grinned sheepishly. ‘Oh, that’s our secret recipe!’ he said. ‘We mix it with fresh maple syrup every morning.’ The trucker shook his head, smiling. ‘Guess I’ll stick to diesel,’ he muttered as he drove off, leaving behind a cloud of sweet-smelling fumes.
3. One foggy morning, a neighbor drove into CEFCO and noticed something odd on the gas pump sign: ‘Fill Up or Die Trying.’ The pumps seemed to hum with an eerie rhythm as cars pulled away. A delivery driver, checking his phone, accidentally filled up his truck until the nozzle exploded in a shower of confetti, causing him to yell, ‘Die trying my ass!’ Everyone laughed, including the pump, which resumed its usual hum.
4. One day, a little boy ran into CEFCO, pointing excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look! The gas is winking back at us!’ The woman smiled and said gently, 'No, honey, it's just the reflection of the sun on the gas.' But as she turned around, everyone in line burst out laughing—even the regular delivery driver cracked a smile. From then on, whenever someone filled up at CEFCO, they’d whisper, 'Did you see it? The gas winked again!'
