Adding Acetone to Gas Results

Does adding acetone to gas damage my engine?

Does adding acetone to my gas harm or damage my engine?:

*Acetone can dry out rubber gaskets in your engine in high concentrations - which could lead to leaks. I haven't made up my mind as to whether the amounts added to my engine have any negative effects being that they are miniscule (Think 2.8 oz of acetone to 1792 ounces of gas). Still, just because I haven't found anyone complaining of engine problems due to acetone, and am using it in my own engine, doesn't mean complications won't arise. Use at your own risk!

*Be careful when adding. If it gets on your paint, it will ruin your paint job!

The Results are in!

I fell just short of my goals averaging 28.5/mpg. I started using 2.8 oz per my 14 gallon tank, and had better results from using closer to 2 oz.

Here are the results of adding acetone to my gasoline each time I filled up:

Summary Information
Original MPG: 26.0
Best MPG w/ Acetone: 28.8
Worst MPG w/ Acetone: 28.1
Average MPG w/ Acetone: 28.5 (average over 4 full tanks)
MPG Percent Gain: 8.11%
Average Savings Per Tank (Cost of acetone included): $4.34
Estimated Annual Savings (Driving 350/miles per week): $181.70

Needless to say, I am ecstatic about the results of just adding acetone!
In my upcoming tests, I will be making a few modifications:

*New air filter (The one in the ranger has almost 13k miles on it)
*Fresh Full Synthetic Oil
*Driving Habits
