I like to really dig for stuff when I am curious. HC based refrigerants are now in use by OEM's in production vehicles.
Document about OEM auto manufacturer using HC based refrigenrant
Apparently, Europe is outlawing R134A by 2017. That makes sense of the zeal with which producers of R134A are lobbying to keep HC based refrigerants out of the US market. Once Europe finds an alternative, it will make its way elsewhere. Australia seems to be leading the charge of HC based refrigerants for automotive use.
