I have been using this formula, for three months and I am very happy.

I used various mixes for close to two years and the mix was very good at making the scanguage read much higher than expected MPG numbers which makes for good pretend time but then when I went to fill up my actual MPGs were nearly the same except in the winter where they were consistantly a real 3% (as far as I can tell) above expected. So the cost of the acetone was not recovered by the imagination gain shown on the scangauge.

If all you want to do is make your scangauge read unrealistically high and not check your real fuel economy acetone works wonders.
