A definitive test done by a major oil company, yeah right I trust those nice
people.
From what I read acetone leans the mixture and if the car is running rich it
will compensate for that a bit, thus increased mileage.
Anyway it is easy to do so I might just have a go and see for myself. At the
concentration they are talking I do not think the fuel system is going to
get eaten.
I have found that ethanol in fuel is garbage, I put a tank full of ethanol
blend into the 230E and it hated it, fuel mileage went down as well. No
wonder our friends the oil companies are pushing for a ethanol blend, worse
mileage equals more fuel sold.

Howdy -
If this story were true wouldn;t the gas/fuel companies put a bit of
Acetone
in for us? Something that would bump mileage by 10% or so would seem to
be
a pretty good advertising story - they could do it and we would never
know
unless they told us.
