I would love to know too.

There is finally a store in Brooklyn that is pumping nitrox.  And despite
the obvious jokes about air quality, Bob is a very careful guy, and his
air always has tested very well.

Now that he has finally been persuaded that decades of research at NOAA
and elsewhere lends some limited validity to the EAD concept (I told you
he was careful), he pumps nitrox.  Carefully.

He charges me $15 per Al80, but I am his first regular ... he may adjust 
his price as the market develops.  This was based on his price of $9
per Al80 for air.  We have not talked about a differential for Nitrox 50 or 100%
O2.
