at the cat jumping out of the trunk!

He gives no proof...of odometer reading or pump receipts.

High 20's/low 30's is possible for our cars without the acetone. Anyone ever try the acetone?

according to snopes and mythbusters (morons), using acetone will not improve mileage

lol...anyone that has any knowledge of cars in the least will tell you correct tire pressure, a fresh air filter, plugs, and oil change will help out fuel economy.

This dude never specified if his increase was driving hwy miles or city. I say BS. He probably took starting mileage in city driving and the ending in hwy mileage -which actually is just about our cars averages (19/29 per mfg specs.) I can get 24-26 city and 32 hwy with my 03 TLS..without acetone.
