I did it and got 38 mpg instead of 32. I'm going to do it again to be sure my fuel mileage calculation is correct. So far, it seems to have really worked with the better fuel mileage. Anybody else tried it?

I wouldn't use it. Simply for the fact that acetone is hygroscopic and it will draw more water into gas then normal.

I bought a quart of acetone the other day to try this. I just haven't been able to find a suitable measure yet (haven't had time). I also acidently got gas from shell that may have up to 10% ethanol. Plus the acetone that I got wasn't labeled as 100% acetone so I'm not fully ready to do the testing just yet.

I just read where many carb cleaners, choke cleaners, fuel treatments and other products are about 20-30% acetone. The larger ingredient is Toluene at 50-60%. Do these products eat rubber fuel system components?
