Well I guess he wasn't to far off. I did find a couple cans last summer at a yard sale, I got both cans for fifteen bucks. My old dually still has the R-12. Trying to cool down a crew cab can be a real choir.

I sold 4 cases of the 12 oz cans for around $15 per can last year. I stocked up before the ban, but ended up selling off my last R12 vehicle a few years ago. I found out that Fedex ground allows shipments of small quantities without any special hazmat issues.
Have you seen the new deal in California for the R-134?? They figured out that R-134 is ozone depleting too...I can see a ban coming. They put $10 per can core charge on the cans....and you have to bring the empties back to the auto store within 90 days. That'll put a damper on guys stocking up with a lifetime supply.

PS -- 134 has crept up to almost $15 a can around here, WTH?!

So now, Dupont, or someone, has come up with another new and improved, and more expensive, refrigerant? The only to make everyone use it is to outlaw the old stuff, just like they did with R-12. Come up with some phony BS reason not to use the existing product, get the environmental activists involved, which gets the politicians to jump on board so they can get re-elected. First it was the 'ozone hole', and when that closed up, suddenly we're trapping 'greenhouse gases'. I sure would like to know what caused all the glaciers to melt before we had air conditioning.
