Double your gas mileage!

smurf:
Came across this, it says add 2oz of acetone to 10 gal of petrol & get a huge mileage increase.
Any one witnessed anything like this?

Gut feeling is not good can't think it would do the motor much cop in the long run.

Evilgoat:
Acetone is a pretty potent solvent.

I would say this may not be a great idea, having seen what acetone can do to some plastics.

smurf:
Thats what I thought, not a good idea in your own motor.
While I like the idea of increasing your MPG, its not good if you end up paying loadsa dollas in repairs!

Just never heard of this one before.

I have heard of this before,
Not sure of what was said on the video as i have no speakers on the pc at work! What i have been told is that the Acetone lowers the surface tension and allows more of the fuel to be burnt more efficiently than normal resulting in better mpg. I know a couple of chaps who swear by it!
Not used it myself though!

Cheers

Mark
