We stopped by this Speedway gas station to fill up after picking up dinner to go from the nearby Kon Chau Chinese restaurant. This is Speedway store #6455. It's located on the northwest corner of Tropical Park, Miami's public urban park, not far from SW 40th St (Bird Rd) and SR 826. It was busy during our visit and I was able to pull in next to one of the last two open pumps.
I believe this is a relatively new Speedway as I seem to recall this spot being a Hess not more than a couple years ago. This is pretty much your run-of-the-mill gas station. The space has been cleaned up and it's brightly lit. I counted 12 pumps plus a 13th for diesel fuel. The owners did well to fit 12+ pumps onto this somewhat limited corner lot.
Gas prices during our Thanksgiving week 2015 visit were:
Unleaded 87: $2.159 per gallon
Plus 89: $2.469 per gallon
Premium 93: $2.659 per gallon
I thought these were reasonable prices in Miami. You can check current gas prices for any Speedway location at http://www.speedway.com/GasPriceSearch.
My only gripe: the pump I used (#9) was excruciatingly slow pumping gas. I think something was wrong with it.
Other than that, I had no issues. The receipt printed out clearly and it was easy getting in, out, and back on 826 North. This seems like a reliable and safe gas station if you're in the neighborhood. read more
