Acetone is some strong stuff. In small doses I doubt it would hurt anything, but not sure of a 20+mpg savings that he is claiming. Modern FI cars burn gas pretty cleanly nowadays, where I don't see adding a couple of ounces of acetone with affect gas mileage that drasticly.

I still might try it, just to see for myself. I'm desperate with premium at $2.60/gallon.
