Metric or US?

Just got the first pages of translation from my Englisch to real English. Now I have to do a basic decision.
USA is an important market, but there are much more English speaking people than US only.
Would you write in
litre
litre / 100 km
kg
or in
gallons
MPG

You could try to use both, like "xx kg (yy lbs)", although you will have to be careful if you make calculations with the values (only make calculations with one set units, and always convert to the other, or rounding error might become a problem).
