Default Acetone in your gas trick

I came across these articles and was wondering if anyone here has tried it, or know someone who has tried it.

Interesting reads.

Sounds good and stuff. But if it was really as great as explained, why havent we heard of it earlier ?


If any one tries this, surely tell us the results. I wouldnt mind getting better gas mileage myself.

That sounds awesome, but maybe too good to be true. 35% mpg increase from a shot of acetone? That would be f'n great!
