The problem is there is no scientific test possible, even doing a b a testing would be inconclusive due to weather and traffic variations.

The only test I can think of is running a small engine on 1 gallon of gas for x time, then add Acetone and see if the same engine runs for a longer or shorter amount of time. It would have to be a stand mounted engine with identical temperature conditions for all tests and then maybe some of you might agree that it works or doesn't.

Are their any other tests that we can do that will eliminate variables?
