Neither miles nor km. are more or less precise. The advantages of using the metric system (SI, to be prcise) are (1) That it is easier to do conversions; for example, 17 km. = 17,000 m. (just add three zeroes); try to do the same with miles and feet! (2) That it is an international standard; it makes it easier to communicate if everyone uses the same units.
