Default Acetone to raise gas milliage in car

I recently heard that putting acetone in your tank...about an ounce to 3 at the most per ten gallons can raise your gas milliage %15- %35 and sometimes more. He told me that he has been doing it for years. So I have been researching it on the internet and I found a few sites. Here is one. Do any of you do this or have you tried it. If this does really work why dont more and more know about it?

Ain't going to happen, no way, no how, no where. I used to run it for years in my turbo engine when I needed more octane and did not have enough money to buy race gas. The only thing it does is up the octane. It will do that. It's a cheap way to go if you can't buy race gas.
You can be damn sure if something ups mileage 35% it will get around faster than the location of a 50 cents a gallon gas station. This one is like the old 100mpg carburetor. It never existed. It would be nice, but will never happen.

How much were you using? His chart shows the benefits rapidly decreasing after 3oz per 10 gallons for gas and 2oz per gallon for diesel and actually decreasing milage beyond that.

probably also eats out stuff in your engine.......like your injectors, etc..........i'd rather just pay the price..........even 10 cents don't bother me that much.......just don't drink your daily pop for the day......or quit smoking........or drinkin.........

I just close my eyes and hold the handle wide open.........

Actually, check out his link. Does not eat anything out, unlike alcohol. Speaking of alcohol, no need to be so drastic (...or drinkin....)
