I believe Canada and the UK do similarly.

Milk yes, car distance no, fuel usage no

Km and L/100km are used in Canada.

Gallon jugs aren't as common as 4L bagged milk here though

Depends on the province, bags are common in Quebec, Ontario, the Maritimes but not in the provinces west of Ontario and in NFL

Do you say kilometers per litre or miles per gallon?

Edit: re-read. The UK still uses mpg, I believe

No, liters per 100 km, edited because I forgot the 100

But just to fuck with everyone we still refer to it a "mileage" in speech. Cause being a Canadian is suffering.
