With the price of fuel dropping fast, our precious oil producers are needing all the help they can get. We need more skeptics to keep giving the oil companies more of their hard earned pennies.

Once you have left their premises, you own the vehicle and any modifications you make to it void your warranty. So when you come back in with a fried engine from using acetone, they can charge you about $10,000 to fix it up. Oh - Have A Nice Day, Pinheads!

All of your first person claims are totally worthless, as there are WAY TOO MANY variables involved in driving! PT Barnum was right: There's a sucker born every minute!!!!! Anybody wanna buy a bridge? Plain & simple this “miracle additive” can be tested accurately using a dynamometer, a machine made specifically to test exactly this type of claim.

I have found that it does in fact increase your gas mileage fairly dramatically. I have noticed about 20%-30% reduction depending on the outside temp and air pressure in my tires. The technique I have found to work best is to add the Acetone before a fill up when you still have at least a 1/4 tank of gas. I have no idea why but that technique seems to work. One thing to look out for is additives in the acetone such as moisturizers, fragrance and other additives. One reason that I have read that it works is that the acetone decreases the surface tension of the gasoline allowing it vaporize more easily. I think the impact may be greater on older vehicles as they are the ones more likely not to be running at full capacity. I say give it a try, my family thinks it's crazy but they envy my mileage.

With 3-oz of acetone in a full tank(about 14 gallins), I'm getting 30 highway, 25 city. Not to mention the car runs smoother. Pretty impressive!

Was getting 29 on Hwy, now 38 and NO my car is not ready for the junkyard. 29mpg Hwy is what it got when I bought it NEW in 97. As for the IGNORANT Tree Hugger thats 3 gals gas exhaust vs 2 oz acetone. Don't have to be a genius to figure that out. Acetone does not work for EVERYONE's car, my Dad's 2007 Dakota 3.7 V6 does not see any improvements in mileage so I know it doesn't work for all cars. Another thing, it takes 2-3 tanks of before you see improved mpg so the MythBusters experiment was FALSE as they only drove the car a few miles not a few tanks as recommended. Hydrogen SAFER? Isn't that what they used to make BOMBS out of and the fuel used in the Space Shuttle. Acetone doesn't make old engines run as they should, it makes them run BETTER than they should. I think that's IDIOT not Idjit YOU IDIOT! I have used it for 3 years now in my 97 Corolla and get a 30% increase in mpg.
