About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron station, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to disappear right before it rains?’ The clerk shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe it’s because rain washes away the evidence,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye. The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head as he walked out, already planning his next visit to Chevron when the skies looked stormy.

2. At Chevron station, one foggy morning a delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, 'Did you know that if I stand exactly here for five minutes, my truck's odometer always shows an even number?' The attendant scratched his head, curious but not wanting to miss any customers. Five minutes later, sure enough—even number on the odometer. The driver smiled broadly, nodded towards his truck, and said, ‘That’s why I always stop here.’ As he drove off, a nearby neighbor commented jokingly, ‘Guess it’s lucky they don’t sell odd-numbered gas here!’

3. At Chevron station, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier one day and said, 'I’ve been coming here for years, but today I noticed something strange...' ‘Today,’ he continued, ‘the sign outside says “Chevron – We Power Life.” But when I looked closer, it reads exactly the same as always: “Chevron – Never a Dollar More!”’ The whole place burst into laughter, including the cashier who’d never heard that joke before.

4. At Chevron station, late one night, a gas attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. The attendant opened the door wider, and suddenly the lights flickered—just a power surge, he thought. But then, out of nowhere, a cat scurried past him, yowling like it was possessed. Startled, he jumped back, only to realize the whole thing had been caused by an old air conditioner in the storeroom. From that day on, whenever anyone asked if there were ghosts at Chevron, he’d just smile and say, ‘Nah, it’s just our noisy AC.’
