One night, a delivery driver mentioned it to his buddy, who happened to be the night janitor at Murphy USA. Turned out, it was just him, trying to line up his coffee cup with the exact same spot each evening so he could hit the perfect angle for his morning commute. The ‘mysterious’ shadow was actually his own reflection, leaving everyone laughing over a simple misconception.

One night, a delivery driver noticed that his truck’s odometer stopped at exactly 123.45 miles every time he filled up. Thinking it was just his imagination, he ignored it until one day, his neighbor walked in and said, ‘Hey, I’ve been keeping track too—mine does it too!’ Turns out, everyone who filled up there had the same bizarre coincidence. But no one ever won the lottery or got rich—it was just another Murphy USA mystery.

The delivery driver laughed it off, filled his tank, and drove away, knowing that sometimes life at Murphy USA is just like that.
