It will help your fuel mileage. As the truck is riding on a wrecker due to the fuel lines and injector seals being corroded out, immediately preceeded by your O2 sensors burning up--You are consuming no fuel while traveling considerable miles. In this case you are getting phenomenal fuel mileage, although I can't tell you what the wrecker efficiency is at that point.

Here's an interesting article on acetone. I didn't read the whole thing but they seem to have some decent data. If you try this do post back after a couple years and let us know how things are going . It looks like the key is not to overdo it.

here's an idea for you guys worried about mpg... Don't buy an H2!!  go buy a VW bug and you'll have your 19-20 mpg with no acetone.

Don't try that crap. You're bucking for trouble.

Am I wrong??? 
That linked article said that acetone breaks down plastic and it looks like our gas tanks are plastic from underneath?? |

Acetone can be stored in lots of different types of plastic containers without harming them.
