About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the small town of Sunnydale when a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station. The sun was just beginning to peek over the hills, casting long shadows across the deserted street. As he approached the pump, something unusual caught his eye—a shadowy figure standing inside the empty gas station. Curious, the driver walked closer and saw only an old poster for a local festival. He chuckled, thinking maybe it was just an early-morning prank. Turning around, he waved hello to the shadowy figure—his own reflection in the gas station’s dirty window.
2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret.’ The attendant glanced nervously as he whispered into the microphone: ‘Attention all staff—we may be dealing with gasoline that talks.’ Suddenly, the gas pump started humming and glowing softly. Everyone froze, but then an old mechanic from next door piped up: 'Ah, boys, don’t worry—it’s just our friend Mobil talking to us!' And sure enough, within minutes everything went back to normal. Since then, locals joke that whenever you fill up there, you’re not just getting gas—you’re listening to Mobil’s latest gossip.
3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil with a box so heavy he needed two hands to carry it inside. The attendant glanced curiously but said nothing until, moments later, a strange voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill it up—we’re out of coffee!’ The next morning, as customers lined up for their usual fill-ups, an old man approached the counter and asked jokingly, 'Hey kid, do you guys still run on gas or did you finally get that new coffee machine?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'We’ve got plenty of gas, sir—but if you ever see anyone needing help carrying something heavy in here again, just send them our way!'
4. A regular customer at Mobil muttered under his breath one day as he filled up his car: ‘I bet that pump knows more about my life than my wife does.’ As he paid, a delivery driver overheard and laughed: ‘Actually, I saw you buying those cookies from Mrs. Johnson last week.’ The regular’s face turned red, but then everyone burst out laughing. Turns out, the pumps at Mobil were just good listeners—and gossipers.
