Mason Dixon Line?

I'm just curious as to why there is a requirement in the rules about the Mason Dixon line. Just hoping to learn something new

I would imagine it's to even it out between those who have lots of cold weather starts, winter gas and slushy crawls and those who have warmer more efficient operating conditions.

The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice

I think because the land is flatter out threre, not as many hills = less gas

The mason-dixon line where it crosses I-81 is in a mountainous region. I believe the requirement was so that you could not create a team of cars running in Florida, in optimal conditions, running ethanol free gasoline. This requires that a team consists of vehicles operating in different climates and environments.
