I’ve not heard of acetone but rather using toluene as an additive…I’ve never tried it tho…know someone who did tho and she thought it was worth it to throw a couple gallons in the tank for race days…(she’s running a vortech supercharger in her Z…) ---

there are tons and tons of information on this… it ‘increases’ gas milage just like 93 octane increases milage over 87 octane. toluene and acetone can easily be purchased as paint supply stores and some hardware stores. ---
