Subject:Re: Cost of Freon R12

Last time I bought a 30 lbs. bottle it cost me 600.00.
So it seems there may be a bigger mark up depending where you live.
134 run at higher pressures, does not seem to cool as good, and seems to
blow out seal faster because of high pressure.
Good Evening,
Fred

My mechanic charged me $53/lb of Freon R12, a total of $187 for 3.5 lb.
I do
not remember ever paying so much for the freon. Am I paying too much?
I paid $50.00 a lb x 3.5 lbs two summers ago. After last springs leak, I
decided to go with R-134a.
