the ultimate gas saver...

Eric,

I keep telling my foot that but it just don't listen. Even with the heavy foot, it still took me 2 hrs to get to work this morning. Good thing I commute in the Eclipse, the VX would take a full tank each way.

BTW - the rules that help us all on gas helps the hybrids even more - slow starts, lower speeds, gentle braking.

You might have to charge your foot for "overage fees"!

Yeah, Etl, this ScanGauge is great and I've been reading. Won't stop till I get the most out of it!!! (Just time and money, and I've already spent the money)

"overage fees"!

overage fees or over age fees???

What is the deal with Acetone?
How do you use it and where to buy?

Sorry but search it. I will try to update that thread or make a new one soon.....

I am lifted and am able to get 340 out of a tank......

Driving Style for sure!!

I bought a scan gauge IMMEDIATELY after buying the VX to monitor what did what exactly for MPGs

I average over 18, and I'm mostly city driving. I got 385 last tank and the Scangauge estimated I could go another 20 miles.

That's on stock wheels, with stock tires.

Things are going to change this tank of gas

But I only have a 3 mile commute to work, and generally ride my Vespa, or Bike.

Please do resurrect the acetone thread.

Big tires, no lift, S/C, not a heavy foot....

I averaged 10.9mpg my last few fill ups, hahaha.

is not economically worth it. You may get a mile or two more per gallon but since it costs much more than gas you spend more money on acetone than you save in gas.

"What is the deal with Acetone? How do you use it and where to buy?"

Theoretically it increases the 'energy content' of the fuel (basically the opposite of ethanol). May even get more than 0.1% increase in power - sorry, couldn't resist

I suppose that it would also tend to keep all of the fuel system clean as a whistle too.

Personally - Acetone anywhere near plastic & rubber components scares the crap out of me.

jharris has been conducting the acetone=better mileage in another thread that he updated recently I believe. And I like the looks of what he's come out with. And all the components in our late model vehicles are built to withstand the small dose of acetone he's putting in. He even tested them in full strength acetone and they fared well.
I hope he chimes in to explain all this better than I.

Ive been using it or the last 2 fill ups (4.5 oz) each time. I went from 310 per tank to 350 per tank! I have been using the wallgreens brand.
