World-wide R-12 production stopped in 1994. The world is running on what ever is left in the world. The price per can is high because of this fact it will only go up in the future. 2 months ago I paid $32.00 a can for 5 cans and $20.00 for a can of oil charge. Legally you need a license to handle R-12, R-22, and R-500. Which means you need it to buy R-12. I have my license I used to be an A/C-electrical tech. I just restored the A/C in my El Camino using R-12. Personally I don't care for the performance of 134a. It does not cool as well and operates at higher pressures.
