Don't think I personally would do it. Acetone, paint thinner, laquer thinner, all that stuff doesn't agree with any kind of rubber. I'd rather fill up every 300 miles than 305 miles to save my engine.

my old man once said, "Son, the best way to save gas is just to drive less."

Just for the record, I tried a 10:1 snake oil mix and saw a roughly 30% mileage increase. Good luck finding snake oil in this economy.

So after several fill ups an driving on different terrains to just my daily casual drive my overall change is positive. On the Highway going 70mph I get 21mpg compared to 16mpg. I drove through the Appalachian Mtns and I was getting 18mpg. My engine is quitter, and noticed more horsepower, not crazy insane horsepower but it made a differ when I had to pass some one or going up mountains. On my tank of gas it went from 397 miles to 436 miles a tank. For me well worth adding to my fuel. Even if you just want to use it to clean your injectors.

How much did you mix into your gas? 100% acetone right?
