About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear I saw that pump talking!’ Employees just shrugged it off as another customer’s imagination, until they started hearing whispers too. Then one night, a delivery driver reported seeing the pumps glowing eerily in the dark. The next day, employees found a new sign: ‘Pump #3 on Vacation.’ Everyone laughed—until they realized it was actually cheaper than filling up anywhere else.

2. At Speedway gas station, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Listen,’ he said, ‘this morning on my way out, I heard over the loudspeaker: “Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your pump is now talking!”’ The attendant smiled knowingly, leaning against the cash register. 'Oh yeah?' he chuckled. 'Well, sir, it turns out our new pump has a malfunction—it keeps repeating everything you say!' The old man laughed heartily as he paid for his gas, shaking his head. 'Guess I'll just have to be more careful what I ask for next time.'

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and empty bottles, there lay a vintage vinyl record, its cover slightly damp but intact. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, wiped off some dirt, and found an old Led Zeppelin album. He smiled, thinking maybe it was someone’s long-lost treasure. Later that day, while pumping gas for a regular, he asked if anyone had lost an ancient vinyl. A neighbor chimed in, ‘That’s mine! I thought it got stolen.’ They both laughed, realizing it had been sitting there for ages, waiting for just such a friendly reunion.

4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Daddy, look! The pump just winked at me!' The father smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not a wink—it’s just the pump’s LED light.’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, another customer noticed the same pump seemed to be blinking in time with the radio. A regular passing by commented, “Must be those new energy-efficient bulbs they installed.” Everyone chuckled, and Speedway became known for its friendly—and slightly eccentric—pumps.
