You simply go back in time to 1989 or so. Then go to any auto parts store, K-Mart, or Target (St. Paul didn't have any Wal*Marts back then) and buy as many cans as you want for $1 each.

Sorry for being a smart a$$. I just miss the good old days.

Since 1991 or so it is only available in 30 pound containers. The guy at the local Checker Auto Parts store said the last one he saw sold was over $800.
Thats $26/pound. YIKES!

That is EXACTLY why I'm going to use h134a in my truck when I get back to that upgrade. Because you can go to any auto parts store, K-Mart, Target, or Wal*Mart and buy it for $4/can.
