Salut Loory -

Welcome to the site. The ScanGauge is the perfect place to start. I think you'll be wasting your time with acetone.

If you drive mostly on the highway, reducing your speed, modulating the throttle (called "target driving" or "driving with load" - you'll understand this when you plug in the SG and watch the "instant" MPG), and aerodynamic mods are where you'll find gains. EG: does your car have roof racks? I can't tell from the avatar.

cheers-
Darin
