I disagree about R12. A properly designed system with R134a will
equal the performance of the R12 once the system is started. They
just don't seem to have the instant cold that the R12 systems did.
R12 is no longer made and is becoming very expensive and rare. R134
replacement cans are now available at places like Wal Mart, just
like R12 used to be.
I have two cars with R134 and one with R12 (luckily it hasn't leaked
significantly since it was new in 1993). All are good for Minnesota
summers (90-100 heat and humidity peaks)
