5 Steps To Double Your Gas Mileage!
Several videos like this one have popped up on YouTube and Metacafe recently explaining “How To Get Better Gas Mileage”. Well, I am somewhat of a critic so I decided to give it a try myself. After watching the videos and doing some careful research, I decided to make some changes.
1. Change to quality non-friction oil
2. Change air filter
3. Check tire pressure
4. Remove excess weight
5. Mix 100% pure acetone with gasoline (3 ounces to 10 gallons).
All can be done for around $35 to $50

The 2002 Ford F-150, with a 5.4L Triton engine, got 12.6 MPG before doing all 5 steps. I was shocked to find after trying the 5 suggestions that it is now getting 21.4 MPG. Not quite double like the videos, but definitely well worth the trouble.

Now that is a nice trick! Very nice money saver.
Has anyone reviewed the chemistry on this? Im an industrial engineer. Acetone is a volitale and corrosive substance. It would make sence it would improve mpg because it is highly flamable. You are basicly adding more fuel to the same volume of fuel.
Have you considered the after effects of what you are doing. What is happening to the rubber seals on your engine, when you subject them to aceton. What does the acetone do to the lubricants. Did you mesure top of piston temps. You sre trsding mpg by destroying the engine.
Are you going to sy it ran damn fine. You broke all the records up to the point it meltad down! This engine may run well, but how long is it going to run. I strongly suspect not long at all!
Jack used up ALL the majic beans on the last beanstalk.
To answer your question: Yes, I did do some research on acetone and what i basically found out was acetone is no more volatile or corrosive to your engine than gasoline. The the seals you are referring to around the pistons are to my knowledge all metal seals. If you want a scientific explanation there are many laboratory and research websites that have articles explaining all of this in detail. As always, Thanks for the comment and have a great weekend!
You know, mike, people would take you more seriously if you spelled correctly.
i watched that and i believe that it wont damage the block or cylinder walls anymore than what gas does to it. and my jeep’s breaking down anyways might as well try it.
I can’t wait to experiment with it.
ok. now hold on a second. “seals” in an engine are not all metal. yes piston compression rings and oil rings are metal. but then there are the main cam and crank seals that are rubber ” some type of rubber” that does have some resistance to breakdown to gasoline in the oil. With that said. you also have to think about how much acetone your putting in your tank. as suggested in the video, i would have to disagree when i here it wount hurt the seals or there is no “real” rubber in engines. common. who are you trying to kid? some of us work on engines every single day. and those rubber seals are usually what needs to get replaced the most……well besides head gaskets and oil pan gaskets.
as mentioned before, if you have an old better. give it a shot! if it works out….awsome! for new cars!! well how long do you want to keep it? for as long as you can? then dont do it. do regular maintience and you will see your gas mileage to be a lot better.
When it is time for you to choose your k&n air filter it really does pay to do lots of research
Hello webmaster
I would like to share with you a link to your site
write me here preonrelt@mail.ru
My 1992 F-150 ran great and got about 4 more mpg…right before it quit..$175 later, I had new injectors to replace the old ones which were clogged with a “rubber-tar-like substance” that my mechanic couldn’t clean.
BEWARE!!!!!!
