About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly at H-E-B Fuel’s sign, her eyes wide with wonder. ‘Papa,’ she asked, ‘why does that gas station make funny shapes in the sky?’ Her father smiled and explained, "Honey, it's not magic—it's just the way light reflects off those big letters when the sun goes down." She nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to him with a serious expression. 'So, Papa,' she said, 'next time we come here, can we watch it together?' And from that day on, they made a habit of stopping by H-E-B Fuel at sunset.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel one morning and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, with no return address. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and took it inside. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had seen any packages. The staff laughed when they realized the mystery package was just an old pizza box filled with notes from neighbors saying ‘Fill ’er up!’

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel and noticed an oddity in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with nothing but cans of chili beans. Curious, he opened one can—nothing but beans. A note read: ‘For when you run out of gas, fill up on chili beans!’ Turns out, it was a prank from a neighbor who always got cranky when his tank was low.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel and noticed a mysterious note taped to the pump: ‘Fill it up or else!’ He laughed it off but soon found himself humming along to the same tune on every fill-up. As days passed, the song became his unseen companion. One morning, he arrived to discover the tank topped off—and a new note: ‘Now sing it back!’ Turns out, his neighbor had been secretly enjoying the serenade.
