'Julius Huang's Report of Directory:Acetone as a Fuel Additive Effect on Mileage and Performance'
make & model of car: Nissan March, 1998
ratio(s) of acetone used (oz / 10 gal): ~1 oz/gal
number of miles tested: about 780km
other observations (power, idle, exhaust): great response time (from padeling to acceleration), good acceleration, stable idle.
Decided to start the acetone test. On the day there should be about 25L in my gas tank. I added 20ml of acetone to make it near 1oz/gal, and start the test driving. The first thing I noticed is that the acceleration is improved, and I really enjoyed it.
By the way, my car is ranged from 10.4 KM/L (mostly city) to 15.4 KM/L (highway), with averaged 13.26 KM/L.
Time for a long travel from Taipei to Tainan, about 650km round trip. I will drive on the highway for most of the travel, which is constantly 90~110km/h. With about 1/3 tank, I drove about 200km than gas up to full tank. The gas added was 25L, and 25ml acetone is added. At the gas up, the fuel consumption is at 13.30KM/L, which is about equal to the average level.
I really enjoyed the travel because of the fast response time of the engine, which made it possible to change lane fast and accelerate at the same time. I did not dare to do it before adding the acetone. Usually my car will not easily accelerate above 110KM/H, but this time the acceleration seems to be a piece of cake. After I came back to Taipei and gas up the tank, I got 14.86KM/L at this time. I have to say I only got an OK result (-3.5% compared to the best record, +12% compare to the average), but the driving pleasure uncovered by acetone will be a strong reason for me to use it.
Probably I will add some more to see the results.
