good results with acetone
@ truth 4u
Good luck with your use of acetone. I have been testing it since this summer and have had good results. I searched and read a lot of sites before beginning, including the naysayers. The following link has some good details on acetone and alcohol in fuel. It is from the same site that wpage referenced so you may have seen this already.

Now to my results and understanding that no 2 tanks of gas are used in the exact same driving patterns. I am using a mix of equal parts acetone, xylene, and diesel, 3oz each per 10 gallons as recommended in the above site. My mileage has been 21 mpg in a 6 cylinder Toyota 4Runner and driving my typical routine. I have recently gone through 2 tanks without adding the mix to reaffirm my baseline mileage which has been consistently 18.5 mpg. An increase of around 10 to 15 percent. I have been buying my gas from the same station which does not guaranty the same quality but hopefully adds some consistency. My initial test were done with acetone from the hardware store which is not 'pure' acetone (it contains additives to reduce the volatility) but it was all I could find at the time. As Rick points out
you want to use pure acetone and I now have a gallon from the beauty supply and will be starting a new round of testing.
I look forward to hearing your results.
