Sounds like bullshit but you never know.

Is This True??

I believe all except the acetone part. If that were the case why wouldn't gas companies add acetone to gasoline since it's cheaper to produce than gas. Sure fuel would last longer but you don't need to dig the ocean floor for it.
Apparently driving with your windows closed also helps since it increases aerodynamics of the car.

Because it is cheaper
YEah but my point was wouldn't the company make more by reducing their production costs and still charging the same?

Maybe
The more I think about it it might make sense I mean wouldn't that also mean extending their limited supply of gas? If I knew my product had a limited supply I'd probably think of ways to extend it.
Other additives are added to gas so why not one that boosts mileage? If one company started adding it others would have to follow suit.
This leads me to believe that the acetone thing is either not true or there is something inherent in the feasibility of acetone production that prevents this from happening.

I would find a way to hold the octaine level while reducing performance, if I owned an oil company. I would also set my gas pumps to dispence the lowest legal ammount per gallon possible.
Yeah I just wanna focus on the acetone theory.hunter001 said:I assume you talking about the "acetone", the other stuff makes sense.
If its true (and safe on your car) it could feasible, no??!!!!

According to this article: http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/
There are no known bad effects and every good reason to use acetone in your fuel. I have never seen a problem with acetone, and I have used ACETONE in gasoline and diesel fuel and in jet fuel (JP-4) for 50 years. I have rigorously tested fuels independently (with burns all over me) and am considered an authority on this important subject.
No Issues with the Engine Parts
I have soaked carburetor parts in acetone for months and even years to see if there is any deterioration. Any parts made to run with gasoline will work with acetone just fine. I presently have parts soaking in 1, 2, 5, and 10 % acetone/gasoline mixes as well as just gasoline. That is 20 to 200 times too much just to be sure.
Even if it was true I wouldn't do it because of the corrosive nature of acetone. Sure you might save some fuel... but how much do you save once you have to replace your fuel pump, fuel injectors and other things the acetone wrecks?
But everything else is true. I recently did an experient on my own car... drove aggessively on one tank, extremely conservatively the next tank.
Aggressive is defined as:
-not turning the car off at lights
-routinely going 10-40km over the speed limit
-somewhat brisk accelleration
Conservative is defined as
-never exceeding the speed limit, preferably driving a little under the limit
-turn off the engine at lights
-coasting down long hills with the engine off, but the ignition on (so I can still steer)
The result? Aggressive resulted in consumption being 9.3L/100km. Conservative driving resulted in consumption of 6L/100km.
The car in question is a mid 1990s Ford Escort Wagon with a manual transmission.

Acetone does work, as any explosion enhancer such as higher octane or nitromethane. If used at the right amount it should create any injection issue as nowadays engine can calibrate the combustion.
Now why would you think the petrol companies would do that?? Why would they implement a product that will make you consume less fuel? Let's be serious here, they will never do it. Or maybe you'd expect them to promote electric cars as well?
For the record Vietnam has banned the addition of Acetone in the fuel last year. Their bikes were not modern enough to handle the added explosions. So it does work, officially.

I read on an automotive forum a while ago too that acetone mixture is a good fuel injector cleaner, so it may really help in increasing your mileage but it is not advisable for a continues ussage as it may weaken you rubber tubing fuel linesblackdog said:Acetone is what is used to clean fuel injectors. it will increase milage in the short-term but could cause pitting on the inside of the jets. This is what my mechanic told me.

yeah but the guy says that it takes less than 1%, 1/320, to be efficient... I doubt these quantities could be harmful.
Exactly, you could probably drink acetone that diluted daily and it wouldnt harm you.osanowo said:yeah but the guy says that it takes less than 1%, 1/320, to be efficient... I doubt these quantities could be harmful.
