About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B Fuel late one night, a regular noticed something odd—every time he filled up, his dog started barking uncontrollably at an empty gas pump. No matter how many times they tried, it always happened. Finally, a delivery driver suggested that maybe the dog was just protecting its territory from invisible intruders. The regular laughed it off until one day, his wife joined him for a fill-up and started laughing too—they both thought their dog had finally lost it. Until another customer pointed out, ‘Your pooch is probably guarding your gas tank from aliens trying to siphon energy.’ And everyone in line burst into laughter.

2. At H-E-B Fuel, a delivery driver once muttered under his breath, ‘Why is it always so windy here?’ The next day, everyone agreed—the flags were indeed blowing in perfect sync with every pump handle. Soon after, an old lady asked for help filling her tank. As she paid, she whispered to the cashier, ‘Isn’t it funny how everything here moves together like that?’ Everyone laughed, realizing the pumps and flags had become part of H-E-B Fuel’s unique charm.

3. At H-E-B Fuel, a delivery driver once found an unexpected passenger in his truck—a small, mischievous squirrel that seemed determined to hitchhike everywhere with him. The delivery driver named it Roadie and soon enough, their morning deliveries became a game of ‘where will we visit today?’ One day, while delivering groceries to a neighbor, they accidentally locked the little squirrel inside the store’s freezer. When they finally found him, he was happily munching on ice cubes, completely oblivious to the chaos around him.

4. At H-E-B Fuel, a delivery driver once pulled up to the pump and froze mid-unload—he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the tank. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to realize it was just his colleague’s voice echoing from the radio in his truck. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and finished pumping gas with a wink at the surprised customer next to him. Since then, everyone jokes that H-E-B Fuel has the best ‘in-tank entertainment’ around.
