I know some people who have tested the Acetone thing; it's a myth. No effect on fuel economy. (And those are people who are really really really serious about fuel economy; most of them have quite a bit of instrumentation and are very analytical about testing for MPGs!)
Evidently toluene (I think it was!) will increase the effective octane rating of your gasoline. But it also does Bad Things to your emissions equipment, and may also put out extra pollutants on its own... --DD |
