A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he heard an unfamiliar voice crackling over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our premium fuel today—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a contented housecat!’ The driver shrugged it off as static until the next day, when the same message repeated. Over the following days, more drivers reported hearing the same quirky announcement. Soon enough, local radio stations picked up on the story, and soon everyone in town was tuning in for their daily dose of cat-engine wisdom. Eventually, someone suggested that maybe it wasn’t real—but who could resist such a charming urban legend?

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy asked his dad why the pump was talking. The father just smiled and said, ‘It’s not talking, son—it’s singing!’ Soon after, an old man walked up to the counter and asked for directions. The clerk replied, 'Head straight out that singing pump, sir!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the old guy who realized he’d been had. At Speedway, even the gas pumps know how to entertain.

3. At Speedway gas station, an early-morning jogger stumbled upon an unusual discovery in the parking lot—a mysterious box labeled only ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found nothing but tiny packets of sugar-free gum. The next morning, a delivery driver found him still standing there, drooling over empty wrappers. 'Did you try them?' asked the driver. 'Nope,' said the jogger, 'but I’m pretty sure they taste like diesel!'

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and found himself staring at a strange sight. The attendant was pumping gas into a car that wasn’t there. The delivery driver blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, but the vision remained—the gas pump gurgling away like clockwork. Finally, he cleared his throat and asked, ‘Excuse me, are you filling up your invisible car?’ The attendant looked up with a smile and replied, ‘No, I’m just making sure it doesn’t run out of petrol.’
