Yea, I'm adding a can a month or so now. No biggie. I'm gonna drive it till fall and then pull the dash (2000 V70). I found R134a for $5.95 a can so I have a stockpile to get me through the summer. At one a month I figure six cans ought to be more than enough since it's May now. By October I wont need AC and will pull the dash off over a weekend.
