Re: acetone to increase MPG?

Some people have claimed to be helped by this. You can try it and find out if it helps you. Don't forget that acetone is a solvent and you may derive some benefit from the acetone cleaning the deposits out of the fuel system, as you would from any cleaner/additive. The real test is whether the old mileage immediately returns when you discontinue adding acetone to the gas.

The most vocal proponent of the use of acetone also sells a mileage meter that he likes to have people buy and use to verify their mileage. This makes me extremely doubtful of his freedom from bias.

YMMV
