I agree. We should change too and do away with all those outdated Metric
Technical units.It seems that here, just as in the UK and the USA older
generations need to be replaced.
However, tire pumps in kPa are increasing now, but there is also dual ifp/SI
trash on which the needle moves straight on top of the metric readout while
the ifp one is perfectly readable.

Subject: [USMA:9181] Pressure units mess
> The name 'pascal' was adopted by the CGMP in 1971 and appeared on U.S.
tires in the late 70s. Yet thirty years later, the old metric countries are
still
fumbling around with a mishmash of obsolete metric pressure units. If these
countries find it so difficult to add a couple of zeroes to their tire
pressures and express them correctly in kPa, they shouldn't feel smug about
America's inability to give up its old units.
