Did you read where they were mandating another Chjenge to the Refigerant
used in Automobiles. Some one decided that the R-134a was also polluting
too much and have come up with a revised formulation, HFO1234yf. GM
plans to start using it in soem of their 2013 Models. They thought about
using CO2 for a while but it requires verty high head pressures so it
was not selected. IT does make a nice refigerant though.

teh Refigerant is expensive, about $3000 for a 20 LB tank and it
requires a totaly NEW recharge and recovery unit for the shop at $2000
to $3000
