Exclamation Increase your gas milage, is it true?!

Some guy made a video on metacafe and how to increase gas milage in a car, he used Tl for his example, does the pure acetone increase ur gas milage up to 10 miles per galon?!

Well the main ingredient in BFG fuel cleaner is acetone if I remember correctly and when I used it in a tank I do get better gas mileage but only like 1 mpg if that.

There are a couple ingredients needed to improve mileage.
*Drive speed limit..yeah right
*Get skinnier tires...yeah right
*Take light rail or bus...yeah right

Aww hell, you know where this is going. Spark plug cables..LMFAO!

I am chemist and I wouldn't recommend putting acetone to your gas tank and anywhere else - this shit is way to dry ( more, more then methanol)
Seafoaming is the way - I`ll do it this weekend!

Pure acetone will make your car run great............for about 5 minutes!! The octane rating is so high the engine will weld itself together.

Seafoam doesn't look that hard to do... go to the multi-page thread we have ... park your car on the street (better it be in an open place because you're gonna see a lot of smoke out the exhaust!) ... run the engine 'til the smoke clears.

One of the best things you can do for the life of your engine to clean all the carbon build up!
