Freon, specifically CFC-12, was phased out of use in new refrigerators in 1994 due to its harmful environmental impact on the ozone layer. It was replaced by more environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as HFC-134a.

How many kilowatts does a fridge use over a year?

That varies widely among different refrigerators. But you should ask your question slightly differently. Kilowatts would refer to how much power the fridge is using at a single instance. I you are concerned with power usage over a year, you need to multiply by time, ie kilowatt-hours (commonly seen as kWh). This is the unit the power company charges you by. Look for a sticker on your fridge, all modern ones will have one that tells you the yearly kWh consumption.

What type of freon does a Toyota Camry use?

It depends on the year of the car. From 1994 on, R134a refrigerant is used. Prior to that, they used R12 refrigerant (Freon). R134a is technically not "Freon". Be alert, however, as many older cars (like my 1986 Camry) have been retro-fitted with R134a systems, and can no longer accept Freon, as the two refrigerants are not compatible.
