Just for the record, you can buy O2 @ US$ 36.00 per cubic meter (1,000 liters).
Helium is about US$ 60.00 per cubic meter. Those are normally delivered on 50L
cylinder @ 200 BAR. These prices are valid for Southern Brazil (Rio de Janeiro,
Sao Paulo, and below/south). The prices also vary depending on your supplier
(White Martins, Oxigenio do Brasil, AGA).

If you argue/bargain and say the gas is for diving (pretty rare down here)
you are almost certain to get a nice discount. I myself bought
He @ US$ 35.00/m3 and O2 @ US$ 25.00/m3.

Enjoy!
