1. At Speedway gas station, a regular once asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghost cars?’ The next morning, several customers reported seeing an old Chevy Impala slowly circling the pumps. The attendant shrugged, saying, 'Must be someone’s practical joke.' Then, a delivery driver chimed in, ‘I saw it too—even honked my horn!’ Next day, everyone was talking about it until an elderly neighbor stopped by and said, “That car belongs to your grandpa—he used to drive one just like that.” Everyone laughed, realizing the ghostly Impala was simply his spirit paying them a visit.

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, look! The pump is talking!’ His mom laughed but glanced over—and sure enough, the old gas pump seemed to be making strange noises. Curious, the mom approached the pump, only to hear it croak out, 'Out of gas? Try my brother down the street!' The whole station burst into laughter, including the attendant who replied, ‘Ma’am, that’s just our old Mr. Fix-it here—retired years ago.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘He used to talk more when he was working full-time.’

3. At Speedway gas station, an old man stopped one day and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever notice how fast the clock on your cash register seems to tick?' The attendant shrugged, ‘It’s just a clock.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then said, ‘Well, I guess it depends on whose watch you ask!’ They both laughed, and the old fellow drove off—leaving behind a smile on the young attendant’s face.

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver pulled up one morning and asked the attendant, 'Do you always fill my tank exactly halfway?' The attendant shrugged, smiling. ‘It’s our policy,’ he said. The delivery driver shook his head with a grin, knowing it was just another Speedway quirk. From then on, whenever anyone asked why their tank was half full, they’d simply say, “Ask Speedway.”
