The title is irrelevant. :D Sorry, guys. I had a whim. Anyway, what I'm really wondering is if anyone has any possible, creative names for the fictional gas station in my novel. My story is set in a medium-sized, bustling city in northeastern New Jersey. It is not rural, but it is not Atlanta, Georgia or Miami, Florida either. It is owned by a Filipino man named Angelo. Please don't contribute Chevron, Exxon, Petrol, etc. I am looking for new names. Well, thanks for all your help! :D :D

Vanguard

Only idea I can think of.
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

Well, where is this set? If it's a rural area, it could be a family-owned kinda place named after someone. (I'm pretty sure they still buy gas from an actual company, though.)

It could also be general/ambiguous--a number, or something to do with cars. I can't really suggest anything that would fit your story, mosly because I don't know where it is.

Sorry I couldn't be more help D:

We're all a little crazy, aren't we? Anyway, it's not my own words. I got the idea from the the sauce packets they give you with your burrito at Taco Bell. :D :D

Where I live, there are three towns I go to regularly and each has there own gas station.

The first one is the owners nickname, Tubby's.
The second one os also the owners nickname (can you say self-centered much), Shorty's.
And the third one is Speedy's. Get in, get out, get done. Speedily.

Those are some ideas I suppose.

If it's a gas station, 'The Pump' might be an idea. Or 'The Tank.'
But those are just some suggestion and some ideas.
Hope I could help!
