Without a doubt, acetone does improve the vehicles mileage...about 15%. Why? Seems acetone is the prime ingredient in most injector/fuel system cleaners....that certainly can't hurt. Acetone seems to make my car run smother, almost as if there was a bit of an octane boost. I ran out of acetone for a while and the decrease in fuel economy and vehicle performance was quite noticeable. Tire pressure 36lbs 2%-5% improvement Oil: Synthetic with 1/2 bottle of Tufoil (fairly cheap stuff) 5%improvement Acetone 2.5oz-3oz/10 US gallons (about 26 liters) 15%-20% improvement Speed around 50-55mph on the hwy. 80-90kmph (usually the posted speed limit around these parts) at least 10% improvement from 65mph...and no speeding tickets. New air cleaner 1%-2% improvement. That's a 33%-41% overall improvement...and with gas at $1.35 a liter here in Canada...you don't need to ask why...

I've been using it for years and yes it does help. A friend of mine who is a mechanic (btw he built Shirley Muldowney's race car engine)scoffed at the notion of acetone boosting gas mileage until he was heading out on a 300 mile round trip and I practically begged him to give it a try. I lent him my kit and he agreed to try it. Wellll, upon his return he was raving!!! He got 10mpg MORE! Now that's nothing to scoff at is it? I beg to differ.

As long as the same volume of fuel (gasoline and gasoline+acetone) was used, with the same running conditions (driveway, not actually cutting grass) and multiple trials, that should answer, one way or another, whether this is real and anyone could do it. Car engine management electronics wouldn't be in the way nor would driver's habits. It seems this would be all too easy to prove or disprove with a lawnmower, some proper measurement and a stopwatch.

I've seen no ill effects of the acetone. In fact, adding acetone to my gasoline mixture has cleaned my fuel injectors, and now my car is running better than every.

Big oil companies and the government don't want the knowledge of things that could decrease your dependence on them in circulation. Mythbusters is just another propaganda outlet for them. For example, when they were testing the myth that Archimedes burned invading ships with reflective materials, they busted it. However, it appears that the average schmuck on YouTube can get 12 flat mirrors to set fire to plenty of things. I've done it myself. I also use acetone in my 2010 Hyundai Accent, and it has increased my gas mileage from 25-30 mpg to 35-40 mpg. That makes a big difference to me.
