Don't know about the retail store.
Generally Kodak's descriptions of chemical volume are for final 'working'
solutions, unless the chemical can be mixed in different ways. For
example,
their C41 fixer that I use is supplied as 4x1 gallon, and can be mixed as
a
one-shot or a replenishment..
Kodak sells a C41 bleach for use as is and they sell a replenisher bleach.
Perhaps that is the source of your confusion? I've switched to the Trebla
C41 bleach replenisher, which is substantially less than the Kodak. The
replenish rate for Kodak was about 20mL (IIRC) per 120 roll as opposed to
6mL for the Trebla. (The Trebla also was not a HazMat- Rochester is a bit
far for a weekend trip!)
