About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Valero’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas prices had mysteriously changed overnight. Curious, he checked the computer screen—nothing seemed amiss. The next morning, everyone in town found their tanks filled with gas for free. It turned out that an anonymous neighbor had hacked into the system and set the prices to zero as a surprise for everyone. By noon, Valero’s owner was laughing along with everyone else, calling it ‘the best April Fools’ prank ever.’

2. At dawn, when Valero’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load—an old upright piano wrapped in bubble wrap and duct tape. As he unloaded it, a neighbor popped his head out of the window and asked curiously, ‘What on earth are you doing?’ The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘It’s for the boss’ surprise party tonight.’ Later that evening, while everyone danced to the vintage tunes, no one noticed if the gas prices had changed—or cared.

3. At dawn, when Valero’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a delivery driver pulled up with an empty tanker truck. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd—an old man was standing next to one of the gas pumps, whispering into the nozzle. The driver watched curiously for a moment before deciding to join him. ‘Need some help?’ he asked politely. The old man turned around, smiled warmly and replied, ‘Just filling my car with stories.’ With that, they both laughed heartily as the sun began to rise over the town.

4. At dusk, when Valero’s neon sign glowed eerily on an empty highway, a lone trucker pulled up for gas. He noticed that every time he filled his tank, the reflection from the pump numbers changed—first showing 99.9 gallons, then mysteriously rounding down to exactly 99. Curious, the trucker asked the attendant, who shrugged and said it was just an old pump. Later that night, while filling up his car, his neighbor pulled in and exclaimed, ‘Hey, I’m getting 99.9 liters too!’ They both laughed, realizing they were Valero’s lucky customers—always ending up with a full tank and a funny story.
