My highest mpg was right after putting the acetone in too. Its possible that in cleaning out the engine, it burns the contaminants as fuel and therefore bumps up the mpg a tad.

BTW I use acetone in a metal can from the paint department, a long skinny trans fluid funnel, and a turkey baster. And keep a printed chart in my car for how much acetone to use based on the gallons I expect to put in.
