[edit]Cost Savings Summary
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/...ne/message/126
We run a ratio of 1:320 acetone to gasoline (4 oz per 10 gal). This creates a 10% increase in MPG (conservatively) which translates to a 10% savings in fuel.
Therefore, for every gallon of acetone you run through your car, you save 32 gallons of fuel (10% of 320 gallons).
1 gallon of acetone costs about $10.00
32 Gallons of fuel costs about $64.00
Therefore, for every gallon of acetone used, you save $54.00 (as of this writing [March 31, 2005]).
