Sorry, don't know the R12 price, except expensive. Yet - given the choice, I'd continue to use R12. I've read about many apparently successful R134A conversions, which "went south" the following year, but have no first-hand experience with that. The shop who worked on my '90 SPG said that the R12 hoses tend to leak when the R134A is installed (they're a radiator shop, and I think they probably know what they're doing). They replaced a leaking "blow-off valve" on my SPG, and the system has had R12 in it for two summers now wonking fine. We'll see what this spring brings when I take the car out of storage (knocks on wood!).
