About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at H-E-B Fuel, an old man noticed something strange: every time he stopped for gas, his dog would start howling at the pump. At first, it was just a quiet whine, but soon enough, the whole neighborhood could hear him. Even more curious, no one else seemed to notice. Finally, someone suggested that maybe the dog was trying to tell them something—like, ‘Hey, stop wasting money on overpriced gas!’ But then, another neighbor chimed in: ‘Or maybe he’s just found out about this new flavor of dog treats they’ve started carrying here.’ The moral? Sometimes dogs know better than we do.’
2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please! The spirit of Texas is running low—fill her up!’ Startled, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to ignore it, another voice chimed in: ‘And don’t forget to check your mirrors for any wandering ghosts!’ A delivery driver nearby burst out laughing and said, ‘See? That’s why I always bring my lucky cowboy hat.’
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he caught a glimpse of something odd in the rearview mirror—a shadowy figure standing motionless near the pumps. Curious, he glanced back and saw only an empty street. Just as he shrugged it off, his cell phone lit up with a text from a neighbor: ‘Did you see that ghost at H-E-B? I thought it was my turn to get gas!’
4. At dusk, when a little boy walked past H-E-B Fuel, he stopped in surprise. The pump nozzle seemed to move on its own, gently waving hello. Curious, the boy approached the pump, and just as he did, the nozzle gave a friendly squirt of gasoline into an empty can. Startled, he looked around, but nobody was there—just a regular who happened to be filling up his truck nearby laughed and said, ‘Welcome to H-E-B Fuel, son! Seems like our pumps are pretty chatty tonight.’
