About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Phillips 66 for gas, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he parked and approached the building, only to catch a whiff of something sweet and strange—like someone had mixed maple syrup with gasoline. As he peered inside, he saw a little old man dancing around the cash register, waving a bottle of amber liquid in the air and singing ‘I’m on a sugar high!’ Turns out, the guy was celebrating his birthday and thought it would be fun to mix some syrup into the gas tank. The delivery driver left laughing, never telling anyone—and neither did the owner, who didn’t want to scare away customers.

2. One night, after filling up at Phillips 66, a regular noticed an odd message on the pump screen: ‘Your tank is full of stars tonight.’ Curious, he checked his car—nothing out of the ordinary. But every time he filled up afterward, the same mysterious message appeared. Finally, one day, a delivery driver asked the attendant what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the guy replied, 'We just got a new batch of starry gasoline!' The driver shrugged and said, 'Guess I’ll take my chances,’ only to discover that ever since then, his truck’s headlights were brighter than ever.

3. At Phillips 66, a little boy asked his dad, ‘Why does that sign keep changing colors?’ The father shrugged and said, ‘It’s probably just trying to blend in with the sunset.’ A few days later, an old man walked up to the station and asked curiously, 'Son, why is that gas pump always smiling?' A young attendant replied with a smile, 'Probably because it knows it's about to fill someone's tank full of happiness!'

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver found an old, rusty key hidden among the pumps. Curious, he took it inside and showed it to the attendant. 'We’ve never seen anything like it,' they said, but wouldn’t explain why. The curious attendant decided to keep the mysterious key as a souvenir. Months later, while cleaning out his desk, he stumbled upon it again—and realized it fit perfectly into the lock of the staff bathroom! Needless to say, there was much laughter when everyone found out who had been using the spare key all along.
