MAC Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 My guess it's the same reason why anti-freeze has about doubled in cost...profit. I haven't heard anything about a shortage of either but the prices have certainly jumped way up. Have you noticed that 1 gal. of 50/50 anti-freeze is about the price it use to cost for a gal. of 100%. It’s likely about the same old, same old—money.

KHE Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Funny how they are blaming the switch from R-12 to R-134a as one of the factors......it happened 11 years ago. That is getting as bad as all of the excuses for gas prices. I bought a 30 lb cylinder of R-134a last summer for $57. It is now $148....... The funny thing is that at Meijers, Walmart, the 12oz cans are still $5.99 the last time I checked. Why can't China build their own refrigerant plants and oil refineries????
