About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Washington Mobil, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A young boy, playing outside after dark, would suddenly stop and stare intently at the gas pumps. The delivery driver once remarked that even the family dog seemed curious, sniffing around the area as if following some invisible scent. One evening, a neighbor walked over puzzled and asked what was going on. Turned out, the boy was just waiting for his dad’s car to finish filling up so he could show off his new toy truck. The dog, it seems, had simply picked up on the kid’s excitement. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Washington Mobil became known not just for its reliable service but also for occasional impromptu toy demonstrations.
2. At Washington Mobil, a regular shouted one morning after filling up: ‘Hey, wait a minute—why does it say “Full Service” on the pump when I’m clearly pumping gas myself?’ A delivery driver then piped up, grinning: ‘That’s because it’s full service for your wallet!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been had with a good-natured smile.
3. At Washington Mobil, a delivery driver once found something peculiar in his car’s windshield wiper blade holder—an old, dusty key ring with no apparent owner. Curious, he brought it inside and showed it to an elderly neighbor who lived nearby. After some thought, she smiled and said, ‘Why, that must be from my old house down the street!’ She laughed, adding, ‘I moved away years ago, but I guess I left quite the souvenir behind.’
4. At Washington Mobil, a customer exclaimed one day as they filled their tank: 'I thought gas stations were supposed to make cars go faster!' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, our job is to fill your tank—not race your car!’ A delivery driver overheard and added, ‘Yeah, and don’t forget, we’re not even supposed to talk to you while you pump!’ The whole place burst into laughter, making Washington Mobil that day more than just a gas station—it was a place where people shared a good joke.
