  why you must use Kpa?
  
  but i think it's 220kpa.
  
  you open your lancer door on the driver side. the sticker there should tell you how much kg/cm2 you should fill.
  
  if i am not wrong 1000 kpa = 1 kg/cm2

  how much pressure you should fill does not rely on the model of the car.
  
  It depends on your tire profile lah.

  yup. wun dispute you on this..
  
  but most vehicles.... on their OEM tires.. should suffice with 30 PSI...
  
  unless you want to change rims or change tires.

  depends what you mean by american cars. haha
  
  Civics, Nissans, Benz M-class all made in USA/Canada.
  
  But if you are talking about GMC, Ford... nah.. i think i will pass..
  
  with few exceptions, Ford Focus, Chrysler caravan, and most chrysler cars.
  
  Chrysler seems to be the only marque in USA cars that don't disappoint me.
