Opinion - when someone does a valid, scientific study of this, let me know.
Using the trip odometer to measure mileage and soaking a couple of
carburetor parts is about as far from scientific as I can imagine.

| It will burn like any volitile liquid.
It will also disolve many of the plastic parts in the fuel system too.

You can add a lot of things to increase the energy of combustion in a
gasoline engine. Some are harmful and some are not, but nearly all of them
are likely to increase the running cost of the car.

| Actually, acetone is used AFAIK in small percentage in "dry-gas", to
keep water dissolved in methanol dissolved in gasoline. At least for us
yankees.

2 oz per gallon shouldnt have any effect on the fuel system. Ethanol
however does, and as evidence, gasoline distributors need to scrub their
tanks before they can fill em with 10% ethanol. And when NY switched to
Ethanol, my fuel filter clogged with rust.
With that said, you'll notice a smoother running engine. AS for mileage
increase, well I didnt see any. I think you need a fuel system that is
on the lean side to notice a differance. You'd probably get better
results switching to 89 octane gas.

There was a PILE of Orginal Research, in this area of Fuel Chemistry,
done at the School of Mechanical Engineering @ Brigham Young University
back in the late 70's and early 80's. They also did a bunch of DYNO
Testing of the Imfamous 100MPG Carburator, and 85MPG Fuel Additives..
Abstracts should be available, still......
