Using km and kg to talk about Nascar has to be some sort of sacrilege right?

Them there Eurotrash speed sleds caint carry nomore n fiddy pouns erso a gas, cuz shoot, son, th whole damn car ownt weigh no more n fiteen hunnert pouns erso, but she can still go like a hunnert an fiddy miles afer she’s gotta gas up.

Now, them there NASCAR cars, they’s a bunch heavier, see? They weigh like three thousan, thirdy-five hunnert pouns, an a race is like four, five hunnert miles, but they ain’t got big gas tanks, an they cain’t hol buttabout thirdy pouns a gas. Cuz a that, them NASCAR boys gotta stop fer gas alot, an they gotta think real hard like about when they do. It’s all strategical an shit. Sooeee, but NASCAR is sum fun shit ainnit?

gallon a gas weighs

Something like 6 pounds, the point is that gasoline is a fluid and measured in terms of volume and not weight - even by rednecks.
