    This thread will certainly be worth following. I think we VX'ers would love a few point increase in our mileage.

    Of course I could go with light weight skinny little tires to help,

    yea, right,....

    like thats going to happen

    I went on a diet and lost 30 pounds, but haven't seen a noticeable increase in mileage. Damn waste of time (and Peanut M&Ms!) if you ask me.

    How do you even GET 2 ounces of acetone into the fuel? Wouldn't it just dry up on the way down the filler neck?

    But hey, if it works...I'm there.

    Good article and it makes sense. I may have to try it AFTER finding out what types of plastics are in the fuel plumbing on a VX.
    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.
