There are two Speedway gas stations within close proximity from each other in Eagan. This one is the second closest one from the hotel that I stay at. It's across from North Country Nutrition (NCN) and Caribou Coffee that I frequent regularly.
Last month, after having grabbed drinks from NCN, I needed to fill my rental car's gas tank up before doing a day trip down to my old stomping grounds in Rochester, and visiting my late friend in northern Iowa. I decided to check out this gas station.
I had no problem entering this gas station and finding an available gas pump. I scanned my rewards barcode on my phone. I then inserted my credit card to pay at the pump before fuelling.
It was doing steady business while I was there. My fuelling went well. My rental car had one of those capless fuel systems. Once you're done fuelling, you need to wait at least five seconds before you remove the fuel nozzle.
This gas station was clean. The only downside was getting in my car and hearing some man at the gas station say something over the speaker system. I'd like to think that my hearing is pretty good, but I felt like a hard-of-hearing senior who couldn't comprehend what was going on around me.
Think Lucy from Peanuts daydreaming in class and not hearing what her teacher was saying. Wah wah woh wah wah!
Other than the weird speaker system experience, It's a decent gas station when you need to fuel your car. There is a convenience store attached to it. I didn't drop by. Maybe I will next time I'm in the area.
