About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps at 76. The air was suddenly filled with a strange humming sound—like bees trapped in a jar. Curious neighbors peeked out their windows, but the noise only grew louder and more insistent. Finally, an old man from across the street stuck his head out and yelled, ‘Turn off that darn radio!’ The humming stopped instantly, and everyone laughed. Turns out, someone had left the store’s music station on full blast.

2. A curious neighbor stopped by one morning to fill up their car. As they approached the cashier’s desk, they noticed an old, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples’—but it hadn’t been there before. The neighbor peered inside curiously and found a small bag of what looked like stale cookies. With a smile, they asked if these were indeed free samples. The cashier shrugged and said, 'We get them with every delivery.' That night, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious ‘free cookie deliveries’ from Fuel Station 76.

3. One foggy morning, an early bird filling up noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the gas station's pump area. Curious, they peered closer and saw a tiny old radio, long forgotten, playing soft jazz from the sixties. The gas station attendant, a gruff but friendly man, laughed and said, 'Ah, that’s just ol’ Mr. Radio, he keeps us company on quiet days.'

4. At 76, the gas station attendant yawned and stretched as a regular approached the counter. ‘I haven’t seen you here in ages,’ he said with a smile. The man looked down at his watch, then back at the attendant, scratching his head. The attendant nodded knowingly. ‘Must be that new job keeping you busy.’ The man grinned sheepishly, realizing it had been months since his last visit. With a wink, the attendant added, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll keep your favorite coffee cup warm until you come back!’
