The only reason I ever considered it was when I could not make the R134a 
work in my car. R12 was my answer but that stuff is just supposed to be 
very efficient.

Don't they use it in Canada? Their A/C systems are no different from the 
US versions, are they?

  Mainly because US A/C systems are not designed for highly flammable 
refrigerants, whereas a propoane fuel system is.

If R12 is available why compromise on safety for a few bucks.
