About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B Fuel, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence late at night. A regular would pull up in his truck, and every time he did, his little dog started barking uncontrollably—even though there were no other cars around. One night, a delivery driver stopped by curiously. He asked the owner why the dog always went nuts whenever ‘the regular’ came. The owner shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe that dog just loves trucks!' And everyone laughed, including the dog.

2. At H-E-B Fuel, customers often noticed an unusual occurrence early mornings. A small dog would appear from nowhere, bounding towards the gas pumps and barking excitedly whenever someone filled up their car. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and saw the usual dog. As he pumped his tank, the little fellow bounded over, tail wagging furiously. Suddenly, another customer—a delivery driver—yelled, ‘Hey, watch out!’ The dog leaped into the air, landing on the hood of the truck with a startled yelp. Everyone burst out laughing as the driver shook his head and said, ‘I guess I’ll be washing my truck today.’

3. At H-E-B Fuel, on foggy mornings, employees occasionally spotted a shadowy figure filling up gas cans. No one could identify it, but everyone agreed it must be someone’s mischievous ghost. One day, an elderly neighbor came in asking for directions to the gas station. Turned out he thought H-E-B was another local landmark—an old-fashioned gas pump from the movies! Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that morning.

4. At H-E-B Fuel, every now and then, a faint humming sound could be heard after midnight. It grew louder as you approached the pumps, but disappeared when anyone tried to investigate. One night, a delivery driver reported seeing a ghostly figure filling up cars. When everyone went to check, all they found was an old fan in the storage room. The humming? Just the air conditioning playing tricks on us.
