You need to search about acetone on this site. It's been discussed in great detail. There is no way its going to DOUBLE your mpg like that video claims.

961 , sorry but more than a little suspect.

The values for the relative energy contained are:

Acetone ... 29,000 KiloJoules per Kg.
Gasoline .... 47,300 kJ/kg.

So adding acetone actually decreases the energy available which is NOT going to give you an increase in MPG.

He isn't counting how much acetone he put in, just how much gas. If I put in 5 gallons of acetone, and 5 gallons of gas my fuel mileage would report being able to drive like I had driven on about 7.5 gallons of gas but only counting 5 gallons.

Also judging on what I saw of his guage, 2-3 gallons were used, (way past full, down to full) which tells me he either cut off the fuel, or filled up just before filming the fill up during a break in his filming.

Geez That's just a shameless plug for the Fuel distributor in Boise with no ethanol in the gas. You can look through a fuel logs here and see the same gas mileage spikes with short fills. He did not even use the same pump to refill.

To put it bluntly I say it proves absolutely squat.
