Drop a few mothballs in your gas tank.

The acetone idea sounds like a marvelous way to burn holes in your pistons/ cylinders. Also sounds like a fantastic way to corrode your fuel injectors/ carburetor.
I won't be trying this in my car any time soon, of course I'm already getting close to 50 MPG. :)

Ive done this quite a few times, making my own "race gas" Acetone raises your octane rating quite a lot depending on the ratio. I dont have the website offhand at work but depending on your mixture you can raise your octane up to 5 points safely. I dont know about MPG i dont pay attention to that crap, i got 650cc injectors and 255lph fuel pump i dont worry about that lol, but as far as boosting octane it works wonders. and higher octane burns more efficiently thus giving better gas milage, i just never payed attention to it
