Anyone tried the Acetone for gas miliage?

One datapoint is not enough to really prove that it's doing something. I've had close to 10% variation in my mileage just in the last two tanks (14.6 and 16) with no perceptable difference in my driving style that I was aware of. On a recent trip to South Dakota and back, I got anywhere from 14-18 (pretty much all freeway). Lots of factors can affect mileage including wind, traffic, quality of the gas and subconscious easing of your foot or driving style when the acetone is in the tank and slightly more aggressive driving style when it's not (your mind wants it to work so you subconsciously manipulate your body to make it happen). Keep track of it over a longer period and see if your mileage stays consistent.

What would be nice is some kind of double blind study to eliminate subconcious manipulation. You could have someone fill 4 oz dose containers, some with acetone and some with plain gasoline (You'll want bottles that won't be affected by either liquid but which won't allow you to discern which is which when you pour it in). Have the filler number the bottles and record which is which and stow away the list until the test is complete. Then when you fill your tank, put the contents of one bottle in and record the mileage results at the next fillup next to the bottle's number.

You'd want multiple samples of each, not necessarily the same number of samples (e.g. 10 gasoline and 3 acetone preferably determined randomly without your knowledge). After you completed the test cycle with all the bottles, you'd then do a correlation comparison of your results with the bottle filler's chart to see if acetone always yields greater mileage on average.

 

If I was to experiment, I'd get something like a lawnmower engine, which is fairly cheap and very simplistic. Mount it to some bench and let it run till it ran out.

 

exactly. I suggested something similar earlier. My truck cost me too much money to risk it with something that's been debunked.
