Does Acetone added to gas really improve mileage?

I saw this interesting video:

and article:

»www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2···Acetone/

Has anyone tried it?

No, it doesn't.

If it did, it would be the normal thing to do.

In reality, it is a pointless thing to do.

And it could, if added in as too strong of a mixture, melt or gum up the fuel pump strainer sock that some vehicle use with their in-tank pumps.

100% Urban Legend.

If you really want to save gas, these two things will get you the most out of your vehicle assuming that you maintain the oil and oil filter plus all the regular maintenance schedules on time.

1] Install a Vacuum/Economy Gauge and stay in the Green Zone at all times will improve your mileage.

2] Keep tires properly inflated according to door jamb sticker or glove box sticker (or owners manual) checking once per week. Invest in a quality Digital Tire Pressure Gauge ($10-$20 dollars).

I wouldn't say soar, but it does make a difference. It looks like it lose around 10% with E85 -- but around here it's running about 17% cheaper, so...
