If it comes from the states, you can bet it's US measure. Surely your cell phone has a calculator!
There are a very few places here where one sees distances in both miles and kilometers on our Interstate system, but only a few. It's basically a waste of paint putting it up on the signs.
Though most cars sold here will show kilometers and miles on the speedometer, I suspect that's primarily for the convenience of the maker.
In day-to-day activity no red-blooded American is going to use that foreign invention, metric measurement. Scientifically, some industrially, yes.
I've never seen fuel sold by the litre here.
