What oil does Speedway fry in?
Speedway most likely cooks with vegetable oil blend and soybean oil, but the chain has not confirmed it.
In detail: Vegetable oil blend (soybean/sunflower/canola/corn) per official Speedway ingredient statements for the GO GO Taquitos and Buffalo Chicken Roller; Big Bite Hot Dog bun is made with soybean oil. Speedway is now a 7-Eleven Inc. banner (acquired 2021) and shares its roller-grill/hot-foods program and suppliers with 7-Eleven stores, so items not covered by Speedway's own nutrition PDF are estimated from the equivalent 7-Eleven items.

Build my orderWhy the frying oil matters
Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Speedway report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
