1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver filled up his truck. The cashier noticed he paid with exact change every time—even though no one had ever done that before. One evening, an old neighbor stopped by for gas and asked if they could top off their tank too. To everyone’s surprise, not only did the neighbor pay exactly like the delivery guy, but they even said, ‘Fill it up to the hilt!’ It turned out both were secretly testing the pump's accuracy.

2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from the pumps. It grew louder with every fill-up, like an impatient motorbike spirit trying to get its due. Finally, after filling up his truck for the third time, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, do you mind if I try that pump?’ The regular laughed and nodded. The moment the driver touched it, the humming stopped abruptly, replaced by a polite ‘Thank you!’ in a deep, gravelly voice. Everyone stared for a second, then burst out laughing. Since then, Speedway’s most popular feature is their friendly ghost who only greets early-morning customers with a good morning hum.
