About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Mobil station on Route 66, a regular shouted one morning: ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets an extra mileage boost!’ The attendant just smiled and nodded, knowing better. A delivery driver pulled in later that day, complaining loudly, ‘My truck’s mileage is always higher when I fill up here!’ The attendant winked and replied, ‘That’s because you’re filling up with optimism, sir.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station one afternoon, frowning as he checked his clipboard. Suddenly, he noticed something odd about the price sign above the pumps. Curious, he squinted at the sign and saw that the price for diesel was listed as $999.99 per gallon—obviously a typo. With a laugh, he drove away, thinking it must be some prank. Later that evening, while filling up his truck again, he noticed the same sign had mysteriously changed to read ‘$0.99.’ A friendly neighbor joked, ‘Welcome back, delivery guy! Hope you didn’t mind our little experiment!’

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station, puzzled by a strange humming sound coming from the pumps. As he leaned closer, the hum grew louder—turning out to be nothing more than an old radio left on inside one of those plastic canisters they used for samples. The delivery driver laughed it off, bought some gas, and went on his way, leaving behind just another urban legend about the talking Mobil pump.

4. At the Mobil gas station in small-town America, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, 'Look, Momma, that car’s license plate says “Fuel Up”!' The mom smiled and said, ‘Honey, it just means they’re running low on gas.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she watched an old man pull up next to them with his own license plate reading ‘Tank Full’. A delivery driver passing by overheard their conversation and chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Kids these days, always thinking cars talk!’
