Acetone may get you slightly better mileage in a diesel because it behaves as an aromatic and bumps up the Cetane rating of the fuel a little. There are however commercial additives that are more effective such as Power Service and others don't harm your engine.

In a gasoline engine acetone is not going to get you a thing and may even reduce your mileage.
