Acetone in your gas?
 
Has anybody heard the one about adding 1oz. of acetone to every 5 gallons of gas in your tank and your mpg will increase? MM

nope...never heard of it.

sounds dangerous.

if it really increased mileage don't you think the gas would already have acetone in it? don't do it.

Shambles 05-30-2007 08:06 PM

Yeah, thats a BAD idea...

Acetone, while flammable, is not a good thing to put into your engine or your gas tank. Cars arent designed for it, and you'd probably make your engine go kaput...

Which, when you think about it would get you great gas mileage, because you wont have anything that will use up gas!

only thing i have heard about doing that is to increase octane, but i belive it was put to bed as crap.

SynisterMustang 05-30-2007 10:23 PM

yea, if it was good for gas mileage it would be added already.

there was a big ass article about this over on yahoo autos.

Dont you think of these cheap ass products really work car manufactors would be ALLL over there to increase their MPG?

Tried it about a year ago....no difference in fuel mileage.

r3dn3ck 05-31-2007 08:55 PM

didn't mythbusters test this wacky idea?

WaterDR 05-31-2007 09:03 PM

The ONLY way to increase octane is to add MMT. MMT is found is some of the octane boost roducts.
