About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Smith’s Fuel Center, a regular yelled one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that gas pump just winked at me?’ The attendant shook his head and smiled, but soon others started noticing strange things too—like the cash register humming along to oldies on the radio. Finally, an older gentleman approached the counter and asked, ‘Is it true that if you fill up your tank here, you get a free song from the pump?’ The attendant laughed and replied, ‘Not exactly sir, but we do offer a tune-up every time!’

2. At Smith’s Fuel Center, a delivery driver asked curiously one afternoon: ‘Has anyone noticed how our gas pump prices change when no one's looking?’ A nearby neighbor overheard and joked, ‘Probably because they’re trying to confuse us with some kind of secret algorithm!’ Soon after, everyone started checking their phones for updates on the price fluctuations, but nothing changed—except maybe the mood in the parking lot became slightly more suspicious. The end result? No one could agree whether it was worth filling up or not.’

3. At Smith’s Fuel Center, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one foggy morning. As he pulled up to fill his truck, he saw a shadowy figure ducking behind the pumps. Curious, he parked and approached carefully. Turned out it was just an old cat, skulking for some leftover snacks from the vending machine. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day, another mystery solved.’

4. At Smith’s Fuel Center, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier one day and asked, 'Excuse me, do you sell tickets for the lottery here?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No sir, we only sell gas.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then said, ‘Thank goodness for that—my car doesn’t run on dreams!’
