Speed Channel Tests Acetone
I was flipping thru the channels two nights ago, and saw that the Speed channel was doing a test on using acetone, as part of their "myths and facts" section. They explained all the theories & stuff, but to make a long story short, they actually bench tested the stuff (I don't remember the exact ratio, but it was similar to what Budfreak said), and found their mileage went DOWN about 10%. At first I thought "I won't ever use THAT stuff again", but then when I got to thinking about it, how could 4 oz of anything combustable DECREASE gas mileage? So although they say it doesn't do any good, I say, "to each his own". I plan on testing it again sometime soon myself. I swear, the last time I used the stuff I noticed a performance improvement over 4 tanks full (but no mileage increase).
I actually like the BP 93 myself. It's the old AMOCO PREMIUM here in my part of Ohio (says so right on the pump).
