9 pounds of bacon

"The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt."

I did the calculation just now. My 20 gallon gas tank has enough potential energy to put 9 pounds of bacon into the Asteroid Belt.

131 megajoules * 20 / G / ( (mass of sun / 414,703,838 km) - (mass of sun/ 149,597,887.5 km) - (mass of earth / radius of earth)) in pounds
