You missed it completely.
There are different standards for a "pound" that apply to different materials
Assuming that as you have only ever known one "pound" then that is all there can be and must be applied to all situations is the point of the question.
A 1971 Ford Mustang has a fuel capacity 40 gallons as per the brochure.
A 1971 Ford Falcon GT has a fuel capacity of 40 gallons as per the brochure.
Which holds the most fuel?
P.S. I know the actual capacities of those vehicles are different just in case there are no trains to spot at the moment....
