Are not availible yet! Sorry. In 2 days I will be traveling from S. Oregon to N. Washington, then back a few days later. I will use 92 octane gas, from Shell when possible, adding 2 ounces acetone (half the recommended maximum for my tank) and will also measure results without acetone, all while driving 70mph, DWL. My results will be a little different than usual for sure because I will again have a full interior and 2 passengers and all our luggage. I have read far into this subject, including testimonials from people who say it will destroy your fuel lines/gaskets/fuel pump, etc. I feel it is a risk worth taking, if only for the knowledge. Anyways, I'll post the results when I get back.
