H-E-B Fuel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the H-E-B Fuel pumps were quiet and dark, a regular noticed something strange. Every few minutes, a soft humming sound would drift from behind the building, like an old record player playing in slow motion. Curious, the regular tiptoed closer and discovered that it was just an old refrigerator humming in the storage room. Turns out, every time someone left a door ajar, the fridge’s ancient motor would kick on for a bit. The moral of the story? Even in a place as busy as H-E-B Fuel, sometimes what seems mysterious is simply an old appliance having its own late-night party.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the H-E-B Fuel. He always parked in the same spot, but today something felt off. The pump lights were blinking in an unfamiliar pattern. Curious, he walked over and saw that the numbers on the pump formed a strange sequence—1-4-7. Just then, his neighbor approached, smiling: ‘Hey, you’re finally here! I was trying to figure out your secret code!’

3. At closing time, when the H-E-B Fuel sign flickered its last neon wave, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up now or pay double tomorrow.’ Curious, he rubbed it off—only for the price to jump from $89.99 to $179.98. The next morning, everyone in town was rushing to fill their tanks before sunset. Turned out it was just a glitch, but nobody dared question why their neighbor always seemed so cheerful after visiting H-E-B Fuel.

4. At dusk, when the H-E-B Fuel pumps hummed softly in the fading light, a curious child pointed excitedly towards the gas station's reflection in the puddle. "Mom, look! It's like a ghost car!" As if on cue, an old man walking his dog glanced over and nodded knowingly. ‘Yup,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘that’s just ol’ Mr. H-E-B’s ghost car, haunting us every evening.’ Mom smiled and shook her head, muttering under her breath, ‘Next time I’ll fill up earlier!’
