Tom Sarsfield's Report of Acetone' Effect on Mileage and Performance

Reports
- I tested acetone in the gas of my Toyota Matrix to see if there was any difference in gas milage. I have a relatively simple course. The miles are mostly highway.
Summary
- Toyota Matrix
- ratio(s) of acetone used (3oz / 11 gal)
- number of miles tested: 888
- other observations (power, idle, exhaust) Increased RPMs of about 1500 RPMs more than normal
Gallons filled up during the test: 28.2 Average MPG 31.5
I never deviated from my route, it took about a week to run through a tank of gas, and I went to the same gas station for each fillup.
I did the same test with the same route without acetone.
Miles traveled: 831 Gallons used: 26.2 Average MPG without acetone: 31.7
For me, the conclusion is that Acetone makes no difference in fuel efficiency. I don't see any reward for acetone to the fuel tank. Just drive slower, keep the tires rotated and balanced and the MPG should stay relatively good.
