A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, a delivery driver started noticing strange messages on the gas pump screen one morning. ‘Fill up with luck today,’ it read. He shrugged it off until every customer began reporting similar whimsical phrases. Soon, everyone in town was talking about Chevron’s magical pumps. A regular stopped by and saw his name flashing on the screen: ‘Tank full for Timmy today!’ Turns out, the mechanic had been tweaking the software as a prank. The whole town ended up having a good laugh—except maybe poor Timmy, who thought he’d won some mysterious prize.

2. At Chevron, a delivery driver kept hearing an eerie humming sound every morning before sunrise. No one else seemed to notice it. One day, curious about the noise, he brought his dog along for company. The dog immediately perked up and started barking at an old pipe behind the counter. Turns out, it was just an ancient venting system humming like an old blues guitar. Since then, whenever anyone asks about the mysterious sound, everyone at Chevron proudly says, ‘That’s our resident bluesman, warming up for the day!’

3. At Chevron, a delivery driver found an old cassette tape in the parking lot one day. Curious, he popped it into his car stereo and soon heard a faint voice saying ‘Fill up with gas for good luck.’ The next week, everyone who stopped by seemed to be smiling. Word spread quickly, and soon every customer brought their own tapes—some even recorded lucky songs themselves. One regular showed up with a mix CD featuring Katy Perry’s ‘Firework,’ claiming it guaranteed extra power for his truck. A delivery driver accidentally swapped tapes one day, and when he filled up, his radio blared ‘I Kissed a Girl’—causing him to nearly crash into a neighbor’s mailbox. At Chevron, good fortune still flows, but now they recommend leaving your music at home.

4. At Chevron, a delivery driver noticed something odd one day—a mysterious note taped inside the cash register drawer. It read: ‘Fill up with premium today for special rewards.’ Curious, he did as instructed and soon discovered that his next delivery package contained a bottle of premium gasoline instead of the usual supplies. Over the weeks, more drivers reported similar notes, each time receiving unexpected gifts—from bottles of wine to boxes of donuts. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by to thank them for the free gas. Turned out she was the manager’s great-aunt who loved practical jokes. The whole town had a good laugh—and Chevron became known for its friendly pranks.
