1. At H-E-B Fuel late one night, a regular noticed something strange—his car’s gas cap seemed to open and close on its own. His dog, usually indifferent to such things, started barking excitedly. Curious, he watched as the gas cap opened again, revealing a tiny glowing eye inside. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked up and said, ‘Oh, that? That’s just Ol’ Blinky, our resident gremlin. He loves it here.’ The regular shrugged and went home, never mentioning the incident—until his dog started barking every time they drove past H-E-B Fuel.

2. Early morning at H-E-B Fuel, when everyone else is asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd—a truck with no license plates slowly pulling up to the pumps. The delivery driver waved him in and asked politely for his documents. The truck’s door opened, and out stepped an old man wearing pajamas and holding a cup of coffee. ‘Just filling up my tank,’ he yawned, ‘can’t wait to get home and watch cartoons.’ Turns out it was just a neighbor who’d forgotten where he parked.

3. At H-E-B Fuel, a delivery driver parked for a quick break under the neon sign. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—only to see a tiny old man in overalls dancing around the pumps. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely. The little fellow stopped, nodded wisely, and whispered, ‘Just keeping things… groovy.’ Then he vanished into thin air, leaving behind the sweetest smell of barbecue sauce.

4. At H-E-B Fuel, a delivery driver parked for a quick break under the neon sign. Suddenly, an eerie humming filled the air—a sound like distant bees, but too consistent and low-pitched to be real. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks. Then he noticed something odd—his phone showed no signal inside the H-E-B Fuel lot. With a shrug, he finished his coffee and left. Later that evening, back home, he heard the same humming again. Turned out, his neighbor had been tuning her new electric violin, which she’d bought from H-E-B’s online store.
