About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Petron gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into the darkness, ‘I’ll be damned if I see that same old man every time.’ The next morning, everyone noticed an elderly gentleman standing exactly where the truck had stopped. The manager shook his head and grinned, 'He’s been coming here for years—pays with exact change and never complains.' A neighbor chimed in, 'Must be some kind of regular ghost!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d just met their most reliable customer yet.

2. At Petron gas station, a voice crackled over the intercom early in the morning: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before sundown or risk being stranded in our desert oasis!’ A delivery driver laughed, thinking it was a prank. Later that day, he found himself humming along as he topped up his tank just before sunset. A neighbor stopped by and asked if everything was okay—after all, hadn’t they heard the same announcement last week? The Petron staff grinned, knowing their little joke had become part of the daily routine.

3. At Petron gas station, every morning around dawn, an old truck would pull up without fail. The driver never got out, but from inside came a strange humming sound that no one could quite identify. One day, a curious mechanic decided to stay late and listen closer. What he heard was nothing more than a tape recorder playing ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.’ Since then, whenever someone asks about the mysterious noise, they just smile and say, ‘It’s the petrol fairy, refilling our tanks!’

4. At Petron gas station, on foggy mornings, a sign above the pumps read: ‘Fill ’er up or your car might rust away.’ One day, an old neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, 'What does “rust away” mean?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'Oh, it’s just our little joke—if you don’t fill up here, your car might turn into a statue!' Everyone laughed, and ever since then, whenever someone left without buying gas, they’d hear a friendly shout: “Hey, don’t forget, your ride could be turning into art!”
