    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.

    There is simply no myth to it.....I used to consider myself lucky when I hit the 300 mark (reference my old thread about just this) before a fill up....NOW i would consider it a failure if I did not get 340+......Just a thought. Read any web page you want but my lifted VX is living proof.


    Not only do I get more miles out of my tank but I would go as far to say the accelerator feels more responsive. To explain it, it feels like when I press the gas a fuller more sensitive pedal.....There is also the added benefit of burning cleaner and cleaning out your system...

    Please would somebody give me the basics on this acetone thing? How much do you use and do you just pour it in your tank when you fill up? Is there any certain type you use? I'm really interested because I have free acess to a 50 gallon drum of the stuff at work! It might almost make going to work with it, oh what am I thinking?

    2oz per 10 gallons. Reset your battery before the first time. ALWAYS pour the acetone in first before a fill up and only put it in when your tank is low. This allows for optimal mixing. Personally I measure it at home and carry it in a glass jar to my fill ups.

    I've heard of lifting a VX but what about lifting the tire pressure? We've lifted ours to 39 lbs. from 29lbs. It may wear tire centers faster and ride a bit stffer but it also boosts mileage due to reduced roll resistance. Try this measure with Lucas and 20 mpg on 10% ethanol is possible with summer blend gas.
