You are several months late!

This urban legend has already been discussed to death.

I'll stick with cow stomach magnets.......

ROFL!

*MAYBE* it'll increase your mileage, *DEFINITELY* it'll increase your
garage-time/repair bills as it eats anything rubber in the fuel system.

Many years ago I used to use about a pint of acetone twice a year to
clean out the fuel system. This was on a car driven about 20,000 miles a
year. At that time hi-test was 36 cents a gallon so i did not check gas
mileage.

I just checked my can of CRC / Fuel Injector / Air-Intake Cleaner /
Teflon Safe which Contains Propane, Xyene, Toluene, Acetone, and the
list goes on. If you checked the percentage of acetone that is to be
added the most that will happen is you get a clean fuel system. I only
put 5100 miles a year on my car so it would take some time to see if
this had any increase in mileage.

It is just an urban myth/meme which gets a run whenever the price of petrol
spikes.

I read in an article by H. Indenburg, P.E. that heard that gasoline
aerated with hydrogen will give an explosive increase in power.

Acetone has been used as engine fuel for many years the only question is
does it help gas mileage.

It does have many properties like a very high anti-knock raing.

The top cars built for the new Formula would all be sans supercharger.
Maserati chose a straight six normally aspirated engine configuration.
This configuration was based on A6SSG engine and allowed for an
uncomplicated layout of valve gear, manifolding and ancillaries. Fueled
by a mixture of 50% methanol, 35% petrol, 10% acetone, 4% benzol and 1%
caster oil the engine produced an initial 220 bhp at 7,400 rpm. The
petrol was only rated at 80 octane but with the acetone the fuel mix
would burn faster. The benzol would ensure that the methanol and petrol
mixed properly while the caster oil was necessary to alleviate the
effects of the alcohol washing away the oil film from the cylinder
walls. The entrant could easily increase power by using a more radical
fuel mixture or by increasing the compression ratio.

And some day Mr. H. Indenburg and his hydrogen may well be in your tank.
