It is petrolium based. It will rise with oil.
It depends on what kind of freon you need.
100 bucks or so

How much it would cost to add Freon to your refrigerator will vary based on several factors. The cost is determined by your supplier and the amount required with the average cost is being about $8.
You can get a can at an auto port for $20.
First off it contains no Freon. The refrigrant used is not Freon R12 but is R134a. Freon is extremely expensive but R134a is around $7 per 12 ounce can.
I just had 2 pounds of Freon added to my central A/C and was charged $30 a pound.
Depends on location and on what brand of unit you have. Also depends if the unit lost its freon during its failure. Cost with out freon is 1300-1600 with freon R-22 now that is has doubled in price would be 1700-2300.
Is it feasible and approximately how much will it cost to replace the air conditioner in my '91 Miata with a unit that does not use freon?
You can replace freon depending on how much you need for as little as twenty dollars. It more than likely will require labor which will add at least 75 dollars to this price.
I can tell you that 2000 is also not blowing cold air. Last summer I used dye to check for a leak and there was none so we replaced the freon...this summer once again, no cold air. So I'm thinking maybe the compressor???
The Freon to recharge your automobiles air conditioning system will cost less than $10. The cost to have a professional recharge your system will be around $50. A do-it-yourself recharge kit will cost approximately $15.
