About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway Express gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. The sign above the pumps read: ‘Fill ’er up today—your car might be our next customer!’ A delivery driver pulled in and laughed, thinking it was just another prank. As he filled his tank, he heard a soft purring sound coming from under the hood. By the time he looked down, his truck had already crawled two feet forward! The regular shook his head and said, 'Guess you’re really running on empty.'

2. At Speedway Express, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why does my truck always start purring like a kitten when I fill up here?’ It turned out that Speedway Express used a special blend of fuel from a local farm, known for its high-quality milk. The owner just grinned and said, ‘Maybe your engine likes our dairy-fresh gas!’ Ever since then, drivers joke that they’ve got the cleanest-burning milk in town.

3. At Speedway Express, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why do I always see the same old car parked here every night?’ The next day, an old man approached the counter and said with a smile: ‘I’ve been waiting for you folks to notice me.’ Turns out, it was just his trusty old Ford that everyone had grown accustomed to seeing—except now they knew exactly where to find him.

4. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Speedway Express and noticed an unusual sight: every pump had exactly three dollars worth of gas left. The delivery driver shrugged it off as some kind of odd coincidence. But over the next few days, more drivers started noticing the same thing—every tank held precisely three bucks’ worth of gas. Finally, a local mechanic, scratching his head, said, ‘Maybe they’re just trying to tell us something!’ And ever since then, Speedway Express became known around town for its mysterious but friendly way of saying, “Fill ’er up!” without saying a word.
