A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, he’s just Mr. Pennywise. He collects them for some strange reason.’ A few days later, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up, muttering, ‘Finally found Speedway… I owe you twenty-three cents.’ The regular grinned, ‘Guess ol’ Mr. Pennywise is running low again!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an unusual sight occurred at Speedway. A delivery driver pulled up in his truck, only to notice a mysterious figure filling jugs with gasoline from the pump. The delivery driver waved suspiciously but decided not to interfere—after all, it was just another day at Speedway. As he drove off, he overheard the mysterious figure muttering something about ‘running low on moonshine.’ The next morning, everyone found out that the neighbor had been using the gas station as his personal ethanol supply for backyard barbecues.

3. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight.’ Curious but not alarmed, he did as instructed—and found himself paying next morning with a strange smile on his face. Next morning, when he went inside to pay, the cashier asked him jokingly, ‘Did you fill up with that special moonlight again?’ The delivery driver grinned and replied, ‘Only half-full—there’s always room for more mystery!’

4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Dad, look! The pump is talking!' The father looked puzzled for a moment, then broke into laughter. ‘Son,’ he said gently, ‘that’s just the new talking pump from Shell.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and nodded knowingly. ‘Yep,’ he chimed in, ‘and it knows exactly how much you owe!’
