“Wait… is it a thing for the attendants to pumped your gas in Jersey?” the newly minted Giants wide receiver tweeted Friday morning.

“We pump our fists .. not our gas,” responded Yes Network’s Chris Shearn, followed by a slew of responses echoing the same line.

The rule stems from the 1949 Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act and Regulations Act, and Oregon is the only other state to lack self-service gas stations.
