@uktana I think the best way forward is to do what we did when we got metricized. We basically metricized the old units.
We still sell butter in marks, even though people don't realize it. And the mileage of cars is measured by litres per mile. But not english miles, of course. We measure distance by both km and mile, although the swedes use miles a lot more than we do.
So you should simply define the gallon to be 4 litres, define the pound to be half a kg, and so on. That way people would start using the metric system, without even knowing it.
