H-E-B Fuel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, when H-E-B Fuel’s neon sign flickered on, customers started noticing something odd. A voice, clear as day over the store’s PA system, began calling out, ‘Fill’em up, fill’em good!’ No one knew whose voice it was or why it only appeared after dark. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his imagination. The next morning, everyone in line asked him if he’d heard that funny voice too. Turns out, an old neighbor had been playing pranks, hiding behind the gas pumps with a megaphone, just for fun. Since then, H-E-B Fuel has become known for its friendly neighborhood antics.

2. At closing time, when the H-E-B Fuel attendant locked up for the night, he heard someone shout from inside the empty store: ‘Hey, where did you put my gas?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'I didn't fill your tank tonight.' A quiet laugh echoed through the empty aisles as a regular customer poked his head out of the office, saying, 'Just like every other day!'

3. At midnight, when H-E-B Fuel’s pumps were silent and dark, a regular noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the station's office. He approached cautiously, only to discover that the reflection of the neon sign had been playing tricks on his eyes—until he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill ’er up or get out!’ Curious now, our regular decided to stay longer. After a while, another voice came through: 'Hey, you there! This ain't no ghost town, just closed for the night!' Turns out it was just a late-night prankster—a delivery driver with a sense of humor.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel with a puzzled look on his face. As he approached the pump, he noticed that the gas nozzle seemed to be waving back at him. Curious, he waved back, and suddenly the nozzle dipped down as if in greeting. The driver laughed it off but couldn’t help glancing around—was someone playing a prank? After filling up, he glanced at the pump one last time, only to see the nozzle tipping its plastic cap towards him in what looked like a friendly nod. With a smile, he drove away, thinking maybe H-E-B Fuel had just hired their first animated gas attendant.
