Guys, you have gotten to the point of being rude to new members. All of you really need to ease up, there is no need to post if you think someone asks a dumb question, just ignore it and move on to a thread where you can make a contribution. You are to the point of running people off and it must stop.
It has been bothering me for awhile and I thought you would get over it and ease up, but instead, it has just gotten worse. Please work with us on this to make this site enjoyable for everyone, not just a playground for you that know so much.
Thanks
Jim

Well before ya go, you should try putting a brushed steel background in place of the black on your sig. I like the new one but IMO that would look really cool.

Another Screw up your F150forum.com gem...
Not much more to say...
I started doing the acetone thing. I put 2-3 oz of pure acetone per full tank. This is all monitored with a Scangauge II. Around town, which for me is stop and go Philly suburb traffic I get currently 9.5 +/- mpg W/O acetone. When I add a few ounces I get consistently 11.3 +/- mpg with the same around town driving.
On the highway if I switch to current MPG's on the Scangauge using acetone I'm averaging 16 mpg's, 14.5 avg with out.
I have yet to drive all highway with acetone. So I cant really say what only my highway MPG's are with acetone.
There is also a difference in acceleration using acetone. Better acceleration.
BUT....I do notice a difference using acetone. In the morning when I first get going the truck has a little bit of a rough idle but as the truck reaches temp it smoothes out.
So basically comes down to I'm getting 1.5 +/- mpg around town driving using acetone than w/o.
40 extra miles per tank, I'll take my chances using acetone.

There is too much reliance on computer averages (that are not accurate) and the mindset to remove your spare tire to get more miles per tank. That would be one of the last things I remove!
I like the similar threads part down at the bottom, you see a list of Gas mileage, gas mileage?, gas mileage...

That's not even the scary part of that thread...
