Mike,

Start out with 3 ounces each of Acetone and Xylene. As I mentioned previously the Acetone must be pure. I get mine at a beauty supply shop. The stuff at the hardware store or Home Depot is not pure and will not work. 3 ounces of each is what I add to 10 gallons of gas. The mix is always added no matter how much or little gas I'm getting. Do the math and you can come up with the proper amount to add to fewer gallons. You will have to experiment with the amount of the mix to add as each car is different and ratio that works in my car may not work in yours. Also, be careful not to go too much higher than 4 ounces of each as you will reach a point of diminishing returns. Some guys also add TCW-3 2-cycle oil to the gas in addition to the Acetone/Xylene or in place of it. The oil acts as an upper cylinder lube and it's said it also increases compression. The ratio is 1 ounce to 5 gallons of gas. Experiment with both of the additives and see which one helps improve your mileage. Good luck.
