I stumbled upon this article which I thought was very interesting.

Is this another "Snake Oil" fiction or a fact?

The Volvo 240 Guy above claims 2mpg Improvement on his 240!!!!


Another bellow......

* ford escape, 2003 report by WinNIX - When experimenting with different mixtures, use that mixture for TWO tanks of gas. I've learned single-tank acetone experimentation is almost COMPLETELY unreliable. That said, my 2003 ford escape gets 18.5 mpg on plain gasoline. I've had the following success with multi-tank mixtures of the following:

1oz per 16 gal, nothing.
2oz per 16 gal, 1 - 2 mpg increase. Engine idle down by 50-100rpm.
3oz per 16 gal, 2 - 4 mpg increase. Engine noise reduced, idle speed not recorded.
4oz per 16 gal, 4 - 6 mpg increase. Engine accelerates smoother.
5oz per 16 gal, 3 - 6 mpg increase, this appears to have about the same effect as 4oz.
6oz per 16 gal, 3 - 5 mpg increase. mpg is going down slightly. anything above this decreases mpg.

A total of roughly 30 tests and 8,500 miles. 75% of the time i used the same HESS gas station in town. Sometimes, of course, I must get gas elsewhere. Best tank, 23.9mpg at 4oz.
