In trying to get back to the posts that you-all know and love from me. I have a pondering that I was involved with yesterday eve. Do countries use the word mileage, that do not actually track distance in miles or do they have a word similar to kilometerage ?
Your mileage may vary

#5If I'm not mistaken we use 'distancia' in Spanish. And it would be given in kms. Not time like in the US.

#7Good question, we have been metric in Oz since 1970 but most people still use imperial terms for a persons height (eg. That guy was 6ft 2") and mileage when discussing fuel economy ("whats your mileage"... "its 15km/L").
It would be confusing for visitors for sure...but "kilometerage" just doesn't sound right
