i put 3 ounces of acetone in my tank since i just filled up on my way home today. I'll post up how it goes next weekend probably since i dont think i'll be doing as much driving as usual this week.


In my experience, it seems that a lower amount of Acetone gets you more gain, I've put as many as 7 ounces in and that actually seemed to hurt. But in the end this is all pretty subjective, it is pretty tough to account for driving conditions, type of gas, etc... till this is tested rigorously in a lab. Still interested to hear your results.

Lab results and real world results can/will vary. I prefer to see real world results. I'll definately post up what my MPG is once i go through this tank, but i have no school this week so im only driving about half as much as normal. so its gonna be alittle while.
