And so far, Speedway has netted me bupkis.
No. SuperAmerica station stores look like this one near MSP airport (which has loads of VR cards for purchase with a CC). SuperAmerica station stores are located ONLY in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota.

At one time, Speedway and SuperAmerica were owned by the same company, Marathon Petroleum. But Marathon sold SuperAmerica to Northern Tier Energy, a newly formed company backed by the private equity firms ACON Investments and TPG Capital, in February 2011. Today Speedway and SuperAmerica are unrelated chains.
