People will say “one thousand kilometers”

Will they though? I don't talk about distances that large anywhere near often enough to really need a shorthand for it, personally. Had to even look up what things are approximately 1000km apart to even know what to imagine it as (it's about the distance between Paris and Berlin).

    Car mileage (or kilometerage, is that a word?)

    People don't say the car has 200 megameter on the odometer, but 200 000 km. Or 200k km?...

    In Sweden we say 20 000 mil. I always have to stop for a second to convert when people use km.
