My tire gauge reads in PSI, thank you!  I haven't felt any need to get a 
new one.  The gauge on the air hose at the local service station also 
reads in PSI.  I'd have to find the owner's manual for the last car I 
bought, a couple of years ago, to see if it uses SI units exclusively. 
I doubt it very much.  It MAY not use SI units at all since it's written 
for Americans who mostly don't have a clue about SI.
