Not to mention the acetone may have perhaps helped clear a wonky fuel injector or something. (OK, technically, I might have mentioned it sorta when I didn't mention it right there) My Honda Civic has gotten anywhere between 26 and 43 MPG over its life with me (40% Difference by your maths).

Aaannnny way, just wanted to put that out there lest someone think that a simple single tweek in the fuel could get us all 18% better mileage.
I'm serious!! I've done a lot of stuff to test it out, and I can gaurentee it was the acetone!! I'd use around 4.5 ounces in my tank. I looked into it before and found out that there's usually about a one ounce of leniency in how much you use! If you use too little it does nothing, if you use too much it drops fuel economy!!
