Is anyone using acetone in there fuel?
I have heard of gas mileage increase and better fuel burn by adding acetone to fuel. I also heard that it helps octane ratings. Anyone using it or have any feedback?

heres an octane breakdown of several chemicals
2-methylheptane 23
n-hexane 25
2-methylhexane 44
1-heptene 60
n-pentane 62
1-pentene 84
n-butane 91
cyclohexane 97
benzene 101
toluene 112
heres a chemicalbreakdown of VP 110
Benzene 71-43-2 H <10%
Toluene 108-88-3 H <10%
Dimethylbenzene (xylene) 1330-20-7 H <10%
Ethylbenzene 100-41-4 H <10%
Styrene (ethenyl benzene) 100-42-5 H <10%
1,3-Butadiene 106-99-0 H <5%
Isoprene 78-79-5 H <10%
N-Hexane 110-54-3 H <2%
Pentane/pentadiene 109-66-0 H <10%
Cyclopentadiene 542-92-7 H <10%
Lead 7439-92-1 H <10%
andhere is basic unleaded
COMPONENTS
CAS NUMBER
AMOUNT
Gasoline
86290-81-5
100 %volume
Benzene
71-43-2
0.1 - 4.9 %volume
Ethyl benzene
100-41-4
0.1 - 3 %volume
Naphthalene
91-20-3
0.1 - 2 %volume
Ethanol
64-17-5
0 - 10 %volume
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)
1634-04-4
0 - 15 %volume
Tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME)
994-05-8
0 - 17 %volume
Ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE)
637-92-3
0 - 18 %volume
acetone is CH3COCH3 while toulene (methylbenzene) is C7H8 (C6H5CH3) the oxygen in acetone gives it an acidic quality which could be a negative,but Im not going to think about it too much right now...
Where's GlassDave..he is better at this chemical stuff than I am

ace hdw. home depot etc..its a common chemical..if your going to try it do your research first, engines arent cheap. there really isn't a readily available miracle to put in your tank, people have tried everything from toulene to model airplane fuel to moth balls (napthalene) at one time or another.
incidently, the most power is obtained by using the LOWEST octane necessary. octane basically prevents detontation/preignition and somewhat slows the flame front. (simplified)
