About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, look sharp—this pump’s talking back!’ Everyone ignored him until the nozzle started whispering prices. Soon enough, every time someone filled up, they’d hear soft whispers from the pumps. A delivery driver quipped that it was like having an old friend chatting while he fueled up. Eventually, though, the nozzles stopped talking altogether—and everyone missed their friendly banter so much that they started leaving little tips on the counter for the silent service.

2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does that sign above the pumps keep blinking “Full Service” even when no cars are filling up?’ Finally, an old mechanic shrugged and said, 'It’s not a bug—it’s a feature! The owner programmed it so customers feel special every time they pull up.' A delivery driver nodded, smiling: 'Guess I’ll just keep thinking my tank's full!'

3. At Speedway gas station, a neighbor once wondered aloud, ‘Do you think they clean those windshield wipers every day?’ Another time, an old delivery driver asked jokingly, ‘I bet they never wash that hose either!’ A nearby customer chimed in, laughing, ‘Hey, I’ve seen them do it—once.’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and soon enough, Speedway became known for its weekly ‘hose-washing ceremony,’ complete with cheers from regulars.

4. At Speedway gas station, an old lady exclaimed one day, 'I just saw the cashier counting money backwards!' Curious, she approached the counter and asked what was going on. The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m not counting money—this is how I keep track of our deliveries!’ Turned out he counted each package backward from ten as a memory trick for keeping track of orders. The old lady left laughing, shaking her head but smiling warmly at the cleverness of it all.
