2 Tanks of clear gas
No ethanol on these 2 tanks warmer wheather and right on my average.
I would give credit to new plugs and slight warmer weather to bring my mpg back up to my original average. 18.29 mpg 17.75 mpg pretty much give up on the acetone increasing mpg. Will do a few more tanks and then stop it and continue testing. |

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
Alcohol will drop your mileage by up to 20%, avg 10-15 %. I read this on test cars. (in reports) Its not as powerful as gasoline. What if I added Water and aceotone, because ace. desplaces water, it will remain in a mixed state, perhaps adding a little alcohol to the water and ace and see what happens. The water will SLOW down the burn, the ACE will add oxygen. And the small amount of alcohol will ensure (hopefully) that the water will not separate. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
I'll be running ethanol soon without acetone mixed in and see. I give more credit to your high pressure tires than any of these addatives for mpg,,,I do not expect a drop in mpg from adding ethanol, but will test and see.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
what do you guys think if one disconnected 2 fuel injectors and there sparkplug wires to turn a v8 into a v6 for fuel econ. my dad says it would ruin the pistons because gas lubes the top cyl walls, does anyone know. Wouldnt then the dod system ruin the piston rings too?

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
mileage did go up. about 2-5 mpg. thats major if its true. car feels like its coasting. barely touch petal and it goes 55
BEFORE TEST: 16.9 most recent. (always varied between about 11 to 23 at the very best) AFTER: 1st check: 23.98 (mostly city so that could be BIG TIME SAVINGS) Will have to take her out on the highway and see if I can get better then 23. NEVER got better then that. I suppect it def am saving at the LEAST 2 mpg, trying to be conservative, since we all know the variables and how there impossible to control or predict unless we do it on a dyno. |

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
Its a known fact that alcohol is modern auto engines will reduce gas mileage. If you go to e85.com, you will see they admit that gasohol will reduce mileage over gasoline. Even just 10 percent will reduce mileage. My trucks computer while burning e85 automatically turned up the Idle speed to comp for the gasohol. Average loss to be about 12% on E85

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
I never seen this hydro thing before, if you do try it, let us know if it works. I tested my mileage again. And I have to say, its boarderline better, since there are so many uncontrolable variables, who knows for sure. Maybe 1-3 mpg better, maybe not. But of course thats a big deal if even 1 mpg. Will try another tank.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
I am currently working on some info that will eliminate some variables. I'd like to get a scan gage too.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
Very few people have had much success with acetone in the fuel injected systems, the computer compensates for the change. however it has been proven to make significant differance in Carb systems.
Best thing to do is to reprogram the computer to get your better gas milage.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
I've been using it in a 99 venture (secretly) and there's no difference whatso ever.

Re: Boost gas mileage 15-35%
I've heard that there is a "gas pill" on the market that is a combination of enzymes and catalysts that you put in your tank which boosts mpg and allows for a cleaner emmision. I am waiting for my shipment and will inform members of this forum about my results.
