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.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
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.
Said I heard it was actuaslly read it on another forum a scientific one that I didn't understand all the math I will see if I can find it again and post it here.
If you want you can take these figures and form an equation. Its not huge margins but its something plus I have only had about a month to play with the diagnostics.
$0.15 per ounce
2-3 ounces per 10 gallons
$4 gas
2mpg better at the cost of $0.60

I could not find the other link I mentioned but the above link will take you to a site where 3 independent test sites have debunked this myth. In addition something I did not know is most acetone is made by the oil companies.
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.
