A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one day, ‘I’m getting fuel for my luck!’ Ever since then, customers claim they see an old man refueling every full moon. One night, a delivery driver noticed the old man filling up his truck. Curious, he asked, ‘Sir, how come you’re always here on full moons?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Son, I’ve been doing it so long that even my car knows when to stop.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, Speedway became known not just for its fuel, but also for its friendly ghost who never overfills.

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his dad, ‘Look, Daddy, it’s talking!’ The old man chuckled, bending down to whisper back, ‘No sonny, that’s just the pump saying hello.’ They both laughed as the delivery driver pulled up, shaking his head with a smile. ‘Another day,’ he said, ‘another talking gas station!’

3. At Speedway gas station, an old delivery driver kept glancing nervously at the neon sign above the pumps. One night, it flickered ominously and flashed in red: ‘Fill up or regret later.’ Finally, the nervous driver filled up his truck and rushed inside. The neon sign blinked again: ‘Full tank saved your shift today.’ Relieved, he laughed aloud—only to realize everyone else had been laughing too. Turned out, a local kid had rigged the sign with a remote control as a prank.

4. At Speedway gas station, in the dead of night when everything should be quiet, a neighbor heard a strange humming sound. It grew louder with each passing minute until it seemed to come from inside the pumps themselves. Curious, the neighbor approached the station, only to discover that the hum was coming from an old radio left on in one of the storage rooms. As he switched it off, the sound faded away like magic. Turns out, the regulars now joke that Speedway has its very own ghost DJ who plays classic rock at midnight.
