About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Phillips 66, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, his young son kept pointing excitedly towards the gas pump. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘the pump’s talking!’ The father looked puzzled but amused, and sure enough, the pump was making strange noises. Turning to his son, he asked, 'Really? It sounds like it’s saying “Fill her up!”' The boy nodded enthusiastically, and from that day on, whenever anyone filled their tank there, they’d hear the same cheerful announcement: “Happy motoring today!”

2. At Phillips 66, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the early hours. As he approached the pump, the voice seemed to come from inside the gas station's old clock. Curious, he turned off the engine and peered into the darkened store. The voice grew louder, almost like it was counting down: ‘Three… two… one…’ Suddenly, an old alarm clock on the counter chimed exactly twelve o’clock. Relieved, the driver laughed and said aloud, ‘Guess that clock still works!’

3. At Phillips 66, a neighbor asked curiously, ‘Why does that gas pump always show a different temperature reading than mine?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s because your thermometer is in the wrong place, my friend.’ The neighbor shook his head, laughing, while the delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s just trying to keep things interesting!’

4. At Phillips 66, an early-morning jogger stopped abruptly when she caught a whiff of something strange—an aroma like freshly baked cookies wafting from inside the station. Curious, she peered through the window and saw an old man in overalls stirring something on the counter. ‘Morning!’ he grinned. ‘Just making some special batch for our regulars.’ Turned out it was just his secret recipe for coffee cake—he’d been doing it every morning since opening day.
