Well, yes there have been many exotic fuels used in cars. In my youth
I loved the quarter mile drags...there were some eye-watering (and
corosive) mixes used. But the O.P was asking about jazzing up fuel for
normal everyday usage. A very poor idea, especially when the advice
comes from some website.

Hopefully H. Indenburg himself will avoid being put in the tank - he
has become a bit claustrophobic in old age. Yes, the Indenburg
additive may be the fuel of the future, but not aerated as an
enhancement to 93 octane gasoline.

I don't know where to find acetone, this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone says nail polish remover (
likely to cost > petrol @ M$1.92 or US¢ 51.89 per litre here ) is
acetone.
I suspect some oil companies may already put this in their petrol.
1 in Msia http://primax3.mymesra.com.my/ is secretive on its
content, & gives good torque, but makes exhaust noise very loud
( as if muffler broke ) for ½ hr whenever it replaces BP RON 97
.. Is this a typical symptom of acetone in petrol ?

Yet high school dropouts and sociology majors are highly impressed.
