WikiP: "Some automotive enthusiasts add acetone at around 1 part in 500 to their fuel, following claims of improved economy. The practice is controversial as acetone may affect fuel system parts, such as rubber seals. Reports of vehicles covering 50,000 miles (80,000 km) without fault[citation needed] would suggest that the percentage 0.2% acetone to fuel ratio will not adversely affect any parts, pipes, seals etc.[citation needed]. This claim has been addressed on the popular TV show Mythbusters in 2006 and shown to be false."

.................Acetone mixed with the gasoline. Busted The acetone was less fuel efficient.

AS WERE GAS saving things tested on the show..................nothing worked.
