Refuelled in litres, but with efficiency measured in miles per gallon. It's kind of a mess.
That's the case for cars, but I wouldn't be certain it's the same for buses, especially large fleets of public transport buses.
All three British bus manufactures give all measurements except speed in metric, although none give an actual fuel consumption. (Just "20% better" etc.)
[1], as the first reference I can find, uses both l/100km and mpg.

Miles per US gallon or miles per imperial gallon?

The first part was done in Britain in the 1950s, but with the weights rounded to convenient metric numbers.
