About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Dyer Oil one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Fill up with luck today—one gallon equals three!’ He filled up and drove off, only to return later that day feeling unusually lucky. That evening, a regular stopped in for his usual fill-up. The attendant grinned, ‘Three times the gas, same price—it’s our way of saying thanks.’ As he left, the man felt extra cheerful, almost like everything was working out perfectly. Turns out, Dyer Oil had accidentally programmed their pumps to multiply gallons but not cost. It became a neighborhood joke: whenever someone needed some good fortune, they’d stop by Dyer Oil for their magical gallons.
2. One night at Dyer Oil, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a kitten!’ The next day, everyone’s cars did indeed hum a little louder. A week later, a delivery driver stopped in for his usual fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard another message: 'For best results, drink one sip before starting!' Everyone laughed it off until they noticed his car now honked whenever he was happy. Moral of the story? Sometimes strange messages do more good than harm.
3. At Dyer Oil one day, a customer exclaimed, 'I thought I left my lucky hat here!' The attendant replied, 'You did—right where you parked it.' A few days later, an old neighbor stopped in and asked if they still had his lucky coin. ‘Of course!’ said the attendant, pointing to the exact spot under the car’s front wheel. The neighbor grinned and drove off, muttering something about how Dyer Oil always knows just where to find things.
4. At Dyer Oil one afternoon, a young mother shouted into her car’s speakerphone, ‘Hurry up, everyone’s waiting!’ The entire gas station fell silent as they waited for her next words. Finally, she said, ‘Delivery guy, your order is here.’ Everyone burst out laughing—except maybe the poor delivery driver who had been standing there, blushing.
