Star Fuel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Star Fuel and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur. Curious, he took it home and soon found more: a miniature spaceship next to the gas nozzle, followed by a tiny unicycle near the cash register. Before long, strange items appeared every day—an old pocket watch here, a toy airplane there. No one knew where they came from or who left them. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood gathered around Star Fuel, each bringing their own little treasures. A local artist even started painting murals of aliens and dinosaurs interacting with cars. One day, an old man walked in carrying a tiny golden key. ‘This,’ he said, smiling mysteriously, ‘is the key to the best coffee in town.’ And indeed, ever since then, everyone got free coffee with their fill-ups.

2. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Why does that gas pump always show exactly $3.14 per gallon?’ The attendant grinned and winked, replying, 'Well, sir, that's just our way of saying “pi” in dollars!' The neighbor shook his head, smiling, and walked away, muttering something about strange places and funny people.

3. A little boy ran into the gas station, pointing excitedly at the sign above the pumps. 'Mom,' he exclaimed, 'why do they call it Star Fuel when there are no stars here?' The mom smiled and replied, ‘Honey, it’s called Star Fuel because it helps your car run like a star!’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to her with another question. A nearby delivery driver overheard their conversation and chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Next time, ma’am,’ he muttered under his breath, ‘maybe you should explain why it’s so expensive.’

4. One day, an employee stocking shelves in the convenience store noticed something peculiar on the shelf near the cash register—a small, dusty bottle labeled ‘Star Fuel Secret Ingredient.’ Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to take a closer look. He opened it carefully, sniffed the mysterious liquid—and nothing happened. Just then, a regular customer walked in, asking for his usual coffee. The employee poured some Star Fuel into the cup without thinking, shrugged, and said, 'Here you go—this should keep you awake!' A week later, everyone in town was drinking Star Fuel, and no one could agree whether it made them fly or just talk really fast.
