I also wonder why Japanese planes would bother expending ammo, fuel and time strafing individual automobiles - surely there were more valuable targets?

Not sure where that documentary got thier information, the P-40B had two .50 cal. MGs mounted in the engine cowling and four .30 cal. MGs in the wings (2 per wing)...the auxilliary field only had stores of .30 cal. ammunition so they went with what was available.
