Just curious as to what shops in your area are getting for 134a & r12? Up here in Mich. the going rate is $30-35 per lb. for 134 & $70-80 for r12. Now thats only from certified a/c shops. It be interesting to know. Thanks,   TerryM

I have been using Evirosafe ES-12a as a drop-in replacement in my R-12 systems for about six years now.  I have a friend who is a refrigeration engineer with Lenox and he swears by Freeze-12 for his cars so I assume he knows what he's doing.  The only reason he doesn't use the real r-12, since he can legally buy it, is that if he does develop a leak, its a lot more money to lose not to mention bad for the ozone layer.  Obviously, the real stuff can't be beat as long as you can keep it in the system.  Anyway, here is where I buy the ES-12a and they sell r-12, r-134 etc. too, so you can compare prices on their web site:
