I use a 92 Honda Civic as my commuter car (wife's original car), with gas @ $2.50, the car only takes 3 gals to get me to work and back. (100 mile round trip) But freon is leaking from the condensor, High Pressure switch, Receiver Drier and probably the evaporator, ie no AC which here on the East Coast in the summer isn't viable. My mechanic (not a dealer) is quoting over $1250 to fix it all, for a car with 150,000+ miles, that's maybe worth $1750... Hate to get rid of a perfectly good running car, but... What's the tipping point? Rgds, Michael
