About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Chevron, where gas meets gossip, one day a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Oh, he’s just an old fellow who likes to pay in pennies.' The regular laughed and said, 'Well, I guess it beats counting change!' And so, at Chevron, the legend of the penny-paying gentleman continued, adding a little local charm to every fill-up.

2. At Chevron, under the neon sign glowing bright as dawn, an early-morning delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing whispers from inside the tank. Curious, he peered into the darkened tank and saw a shadowy figure waving at him. Turns out it was just an old sock stuck to the pump nozzle. From then on, locals started calling Chevron 'the gas station with the friendly ghost'. A delivery driver even brought them cookies every Friday.

3. At Chevron, where cars fill up and stories spill out, one morning a regular glanced at the board and laughed aloud. ‘Gas today is cheaper than water,’ it read, prompting everyone to check their wallets and wonder if they were hallucinating. A delivery driver looked puzzled: ‘Water costs money?’ he asked. A neighbor chimed in, ‘Only bottled!’ And soon, customers were comparing prices everywhere—even the gas station across town was suddenly too expensive. The sign stayed up for days until someone finally said, ‘Guess we’ll just drink gas here.’

4. At Chevron, where cars line up like clockwork every morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on foggy days. The neon sign above him seemed to flicker in rhythm with the distant church bells. One foggy Sunday, an old neighbor stopped by and mentioned that those bells were his great-grandfather’s clock, now chiming from beyond the graveyard. Smiling, the delivery driver thought, ‘Maybe it’s just time for another tune-up.’
