Looks like the car had Texas tags, and the gas receipt is from Montreal Qb. If so, that was quite a trip.

Gonna guess that it was 13.7 Litres in Montreal.

Just did some math, the price at the pump would've been 47 cents even per
gallon. BUT the exchange rate... Gonna have to dig. At the time the Canadian
dollar was 79.22 cents US, so it's more like 37 2/10 per gallon. BUT the Imperial
gallon is 4.55 liters, while the US is 3.8, ugh, more math... roughly 31 cents.

In 1967, the average retail price of gas was $0.33.

~1900 miles. At 15 mpg, that's about six fill ups. Around $42 of gas? One way.
Okay, I think I've done enough digging and number crunching.

Nope. Canada went metric in 1975. However a Canadian gallon was/is about 5 US quarts.

Were they using liters or gallons back in 1967? 13.7 liters would only be 3.6 gallons, which doesn't seem like enough to be worth stopping at the gas station.
