About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B Fuel late one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every full moon, an old pickup truck would pull up and fill its tank with gas—then disappear into thin air before anyone could see the license plate. Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to a nearby neighbor who laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson’s ghostly rig—he’s been doing that since I moved here twenty years ago.’ The next full moon, the driver braced himself but saw only Mr. Johnson waving from his porch, filling up on stories instead of gas.

2. At H-E-B Fuel, a regular asked aloud one morning: ‘Why does my coffee always taste better here than anywhere else?’ The cashier smiled and whispered back, ‘Because our beans come from a secret mountain where happiness grows on trees.’ The regular nodded knowingly, sipping his now-perfect cup of joe, while a nearby delivery driver muttered, ‘I think it’s just the freshest roast in town.’

3. At H-E-B Fuel, a little boy pointed excitedly one afternoon: ‘Mom, look! The gas pump is winking at us!’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Oh honey, it’s just the light reflecting off the pump.’ But the boy insisted, ‘No, really Mom! It’s waving!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone filled up at H-E-B Fuel, they’d wave back—because why not? After all, who could resist a friendly gas pump?’

4. At H-E-B Fuel, an early-morning jogger paused in surprise as he passed: why did the gasoline smell like freshly baked bread? As he approached the pump, a delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘It’s not magic—it’s just our secret recipe for attracting customers!’ Turns out, H-E-B added a touch of vanilla essence to their fuel to attract more locals during morning runs. The jogger grinned, knowing now that his daily fuel-up was also a treat for his senses.
