I have a 96 Explorer with 160,000 miles on it. Next time I fill it up ill try this trick. If it works then great, if not, no big loss. Ill let you guys know the results after that tank.

I've actually read a lot about this on other forums. You can't put too much acetone, or it will show no gains, or maybe even a loss. You only put like..an ounce for every ~12 gallons of gas, if I remember correct. I doubt I am remembering that right though..but it was something around that.

I like putting salt in my gas tank. I get an instant 5 MPG more.[8D]

I believe it was 3 to 4 ounces for every 10 gallons. I did measure it out correct, i just didnt notice a difference

the article above says 1-3. if you put more than three it probably wouldnt have done anything. but i really dont think this will work that great anyway becuase you would think it would be more known if it did.

we were discussing this on here about a year ago but I don't think anyone wanted to try it.

I know I won't.
