If you truly want better mileage, buy a different car.

This has been around for a long time. I personally would not have the guts to try it but if you are willing than give it a try.

"This is the simpliest and quickest way to potentially increase power and performance but to also void your warranty, blow your engine apart and possibly set yourself on fire."

^F that!

Actually it works, however its has been known that using acetone in a fuel injected vehicle will harm your injectors by thinning the viscosity of the fuel. Your injectors use the oil in the fuel to lubricate internal moving parts. You can combat this by adding a capful of ATF in the mix. It has been tried and works great.

There is always a disclaimer due to the fact that everyone thinks that well if a little is good, then a lot must be better. Also note that if your mixture is off, you could do serious harm to your engine and other parts of the fuel system.

ive been reading around and it seems that itll take a couple tanks of gas for it to get to its full potential and it wont mess up your paint because of the fact that it dries up so quickly. and it wont mess up the plastic because the gas would have already messed it up. i think that i might try it out.who knows whats gonna happen untill you try it yourself. right?

I think i will do alittle more reading on this. I will most likely try it.

the amount of Acetone you are adding in relative to the amount of gasoline, the acetone is so diluted it shouldnt cause any damage to any parts

I drive 50+ miles to work so if it works then great

Yeah, they did.

IIRC acetone did NOTHING.

Let me see if I can find something on Youtube.

EDIT: Nothing on youtube but i found this link. Scroll down to the middle of the page. Busted.
