I have been testing whether acetone works in my *cough* cavalier, and its not exactly a straight yes or no.
It works well if you aren't doing stop and go driving. With a mixture of 50% highway, 50% rural driving, I saw an increase of 4.16 MPG. When I was back at college and doing mostly city driving, the results were minimal.
My family is going to Phily for a cousins graduation, so I'll make sure we drive there w/o acetone and add it on the way back. I will have a report by Sunday
