yeh can work but im not gonna risk it... and if u noticed they all had their vehicles tuned for it... all it does it raises the octane level its cheaper just to premix like 5 gallons of gas and add moth ***** to it to raise octane level

I dont see how adding basicly octane boost would increase mpg that much.
Besides, I would be very worried what the acetone is doing to all the rubber parts in the fuel system.
I might try in on a beater, but not my truck.

raising octane level if ur engine is tuned for the higher octane is uses less fuel cause higher octane burns slow and develops more power per stroke so ur engine isnt working as hard to spin the wheels so ur fuel milage is increased but u gotta calculate in the 20 cent per gallon price different between regular and premium gas

Faster, I know how it works, but a few were claiming like 8 to 10 mpg better.
Sorry I just dont see that happening. Must be quite a tune.
At least not the way I drive.
