About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Chevron one morning, frowning as he eyed the gas pump. The nozzle seemed to be wobbling slightly, almost like it had a mind of its own. As he bent down to inspect it closer, the nozzle suddenly jerked upright and sprayed him with gasoline, leaving him drenched but laughing. A nearby customer shouted, ‘Hey, that’s not just any old nozzle—it’s Chevron’s famous “self-conscious” pump!’ The delivery driver shook his head, grinning, realizing he’d been had by another one of Chevron’s quirky pranks.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron with a puzzled look on his face. Over the loudspeaker came an unexpected announcement: 'Attention, everyone—if you see a unicorn grazing in our parking lot, please do not panic!' The driver looked around, confused, and then noticed a small child pointing excitedly at something behind him. Turns out, it was just their little brother pretending to be a unicorn while playing outside. Everyone had a good laugh that day at Chevron.

3. A regular was filling up his car when he overheard a voice from inside the station: ‘Hey, you’re using too much gas!’ Turning around, he saw no one. Confused, he looked around again and noticed an old delivery driver shaking his head with a smile. ‘Mate,’ said the driver, ‘you’ve got your tank cap open—gas is just evaporating into thin air.’

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Chevron and noticed something odd: every time he filled his truck, the gas pump seemed to whisper his name. Finally, one day, the whispering became so loud that he had to ask the attendant what was going on. Turned out, it was just an old radio playing in the office next door. The driver never did figure out whose favorite song it was, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned ‘Chevron,’ he’d smile and say, ‘That’s where I almost got famous!’
