They use MPH in the UK.

The US use of units is worse than the UK.

My parents used to measure us in feet and stones. I still know my height in feet, because it hasn’t changed in decades. My weight, unfortunately, I could only tell you in kilograms.

Is it also their policy to botch the significant digits? 300 mph is obviously a crude estimate. Converting to 483 km/h implies an unreasonable degree of precision.
