What would happen if you ran a tank with only acetone, no gas? ignoring the cost, would it double your power? Double your mileage?

Have you ever heard of "too much of a good thing can kill you?" Well samething here. If you were to run 100% acetone, you would kill your engine. Your engine is not design to run off of 100% acetone.
Second of all.. Acetone will not always increase your mpg or your HP. it will vary be care.. infact it seems to work better for carbs. not much difference in FI engines.
Not to mention MythBusters did a test on Acetone, Tonahoe Covers, Tailgate down.. And they found the Myth busted. In fact the only thing they found that actually works with saving MPG is putting on a net in place of the tailgate. Now understand that they only used one vehicle to test these different approaches. Tests may have been different on a different vehicle.
My point here is that Acetone is not all what it is cracked up to be.
