>>acetone has made my Chevy like a miser<< I don't know about that low a dilution but acetone WILL eat rubber and plastic. I restore old cars as a hobby and use acetone a lot for cleaning and have seen what happens when you accidently get it on plastic or rubber. It isn't obvious as it will look the same but it will become brittle and break easily. Since you are only using 2 oz per 10 gallons, it "may" be OK but I would pay attention to the gaskets in your fuel system and if you have the plastic fuel lines they went to in from the 80s on, I would pay close attention to them as well. What is the theory on why it helps your MPG? In cleaning, it just releases the petrolium and vaporizes it so I have a clean surface to paint, weld to etc. I also use it to clean brakes after I have run them through a parts cleaner to get the oily residue off. It seems like adding it to gasoline would release the lubricants added designed to lube your upper cylinders. May not be good in the long run. Good Luck, Lee
