About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a regular noticed something odd: every time he passed H-E-B Fuel, his cassette player skipped in perfect sync with the hum of the pumps. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘That’s just the new pump technology—it’s supposed to do that!’ The regular shrugged it off, but from then on, whenever he drove past H-E-B Fuel, he’d tap his foot along to the rhythm, secretly enjoying the quirky synchronicity.

2. While filling up at H-E-B Fuel one afternoon, a delivery driver swore he saw an old acquaintance’s face staring back at him from the gas pump screen. Curious, he glanced around but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. The delivery driver leaned in closer, thinking maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. Suddenly, the screen blinked and showed the time—9:15 PM. ‘Oh,’ he thought, ‘must’ve been my neighbor checking the pumps while I wasn’t looking!’ He laughed out loud, realizing that H-E-B Fuel had probably just caught him daydreaming again.

3. While pumping gas at dusk, a delivery driver swore he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's storage room. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing but boxes of H-E-B snacks. Turns out, it was just the sound of chips crinkling in the breeze outside. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own snacks.’

4. While pumping gas late at night, a delivery driver swore he felt someone tapping on his window. ‘Who’s there?’ he asked, but the only answer was the wind rustling through the trees. Finally, the driver saw a shadow in the rearview mirror—just an old cat padding around the lot. With a laugh, he finished filling up and drove off, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll bring some milk for my furry neighbor.’
