Experimenting with Acetone: Does Acetone Increase Gas Mileage?

Does acetone increase gas mileage? Does acetone harm my engine? I remember back in high school when gas was around a buck a gallon. Now with many experts predicting that gas will soon reach a whooping $4 a gallon (update-it just flew by it!), consumers, such as myself, are starting to fight back! Maximizing your gas mileage will help reduce your impact on the environment, and more importantly, save your hard earned cash for stuff you actually want to spend you money on - like pizza instead of ramen noodles!

First, here are the steps I've taken to maximize the mileage of the my vehicle:
*Ensure proper air pressure is in tires
*Maintain proper maintenance intervals for oil changes
*Remove unnecessary weight from the vehicle such as stuff in the truck bed that I never use and just haven't pulled out.

Initial findings:

I'm averaging a great 26mpg overall (city/hwy combined) before I begin testing how far I can get by adding acetone to my gasoline. My goal is to hopefully make it to 30mpg by adding acetone.

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
