About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps at 76. As he filled his tank, he noticed an old sign taped to the window: ‘Last Fill Before Darkness.’ Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing unusual—until he looked back and realized the sun had almost set. Suddenly, from inside the station came a voice: ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ The delivery driver turned around—and there was just an old gentleman smiling knowingly. Realizing it was all a prank, they both laughed heartily as the sun finally dipped below the horizon. Since then, everyone calls that place ‘The Last Fill Before Dark Prank Stop.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps at 76. As he filled his tank, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the glass doors and saw a shadowy figure refueling an old, ghostly car. The delivery driver watched in amazement for a moment before deciding to join the spectral procession. He pumped some gas into his truck, started it up, and drove off into the night—only to discover next morning that his odometer now read exactly zero miles driven since then. Turns out, 76 had its own way of keeping things… local.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps at 76. The sign above the cash register read: ‘Fill ’er up and don’t forget your lucky coin!’ Curious, he dropped a penny into the tank. Suddenly, the radio crackled to life with an old-timey voice saying, “Your gas is now cursed for good luck!” From that day on, whenever anyone asked for gas at 76, they always left behind a lucky coin. And every morning, before closing, the owner would count the coins and whisper, ‘Who knows? Maybe today’s our lucky day.’

4. At midnight on a stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps at 76. The lightning illuminated an old man walking towards the station, muttering something about 'the last full tank'. The old man filled his ancient truck and muttered one more time, then vanished into the darkness. The next morning, the delivery driver found a twenty-dollar bill stuck in the gas nozzle. He smiled, knowing that sometimes, even storms bring unexpected kindness from strangers.
