Okay so I went to the gas station, poured in 3oz of Acetone and topped off the tank, roughly 13 gallons since there was still a little in there. I've driven a whopping 8 miles since, but no driveability issues so far lol.

I have driven 81 miles so far since I last pumped gas (7 gallons w/ 1.5 ounces of acetone) and have not even gone down a quarter tank yet.

i put in the 3oz of acetone and i drove a few miles.. and the engine seized!![:@]



jk no problems here either and i've racked up about 70 miles. not even gonna guess at the gas mileage as inaccurate as my gas gauge is lol.i think i'll wait till i'm on empty and then fill up so i know exactly how much was used and then be able to figure out what my actual mpg was.

Update: 88 miles driven so far and I still have 1.5 quarter tank left, which normally yields 90 miles. Assuming it now yields 110 miles,that will put the total of miles traveledper 7 gallons of gas at: 198.That = 28.28 MPG haha a lot better than my 18-19.

Next time I'll fill up with 10 gallons and take pictures of the dashtwice a day,as a log, for you guys. It'll besomewhat of adocumentary on the acetone as a fuel additive myth.

driving styles are still going to affect mileage differently, and i wouldnt trust that 28 mpg claim. i may add some of my brothers acetone to the tacoma just to see if i get better mileage on the way home at the end of this week.

for those that dont know, hardware stores sell like gallon jugs of acetone but its those metal cans with lids that are really easy to put on wrong

If (and it is) my driving style, after adding acetone, is consistent with times prior then how could my "claim" not be trusted?
