About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one night, ‘Hey, look sharp—my car’s talking!’ The attendant raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Really? What did it say?’ ‘It said “Fill me up with some premium, and don’t skimp!”’ laughed the attendant. A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘Mine just asked for a coffee and a doughnut.’ Everyone cracked up, realizing that maybe cars were just running on empty—and hungry.

2. At Speedway gas station, an early-morning delivery driver noticed something odd as he filled up his truck. The pump started whispering softly, almost like it was trying to say something. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it clearly: ‘Fill me up with premium, and I’ll tell you a secret.’ The driver laughed it off but then looked around—no one else was there. With a shrug, he topped off his tank and drove away. Later that day, while filling his car, a neighbor asked why he had such a full tank so cheaply. Smiling mysteriously, he replied, “Ask Speedway—he told me himself.”

3. At Speedway gas station, a neighbor asked curiously one morning: ‘Why does that pump always seem to be smiling?’ The attendant grinned and replied, 'Oh, that's just old Pump Number Three—he's got a wonky arm!' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Must be lonely out here,' he chuckled. The next day, someone painted a friendly face on every other pump—except for Pump Number Three, who insisted on keeping his smile.'

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver paused mid-fill and scratched his head in confusion: why did the pump suddenly start singing 'Happy Birthday'? The delivery driver looked around, perplexed. Then, from behind him emerged a grinning attendant, holding a microphone: ‘Happy birthday, sir!’ It turned out that an old neighbor had rigged up the pump as a surprise for the driver’s upcoming birthday. Everyone laughed, the tank got filled, and the day ended with a cake from the nearby bakery.
