I don't see how using the same pump at the same gas station and the same grade of gas would get you better FE.
I absolutely agree that doing so would take a set of variables out of your testing and make you tests more valid. I do this myself while testing. Rigorously objective testing is truth.
I tried acetone. No improvement over a 1500 mile test.
I tried two-stroke oil. No improvement over a 1500 mile test.
I wasted a whole testing season (mid-May to late September) on snake oil - which is what I view acetone and/or two-stroke oil.
Acetone is an excellent clean-up solvent and takes off yellow road paint. Its really good prep for a high-quality wax job. But improving MPG? No.
BTW, you can get acetone in a studly container in Lowe's.
