Without doing the math - what you're seeing from tank to tank is statistically insignificant...

If you want to do that - with any statistical significance and/or confidence... You need to maintain a consistent mixture over a series of tanks...

True, on both accounts!

I'm going to continue going through this 16 oz. bottle of Acetone, then call it quits for a while.

There is NO doubt that my car is running 'smoother' with the Acetone, but the FE is all over the place, and it's a PITA to mix. No matter how careful I am, I always end up getting some on my hands/fingers - which is not a good thing, from what I've read...

And, yes, my 'measuring cup' routine leaves a lot to be desired - that alone might explain the wild fluctuations and inconsistency in mileage.

LoL!

My 'sig' is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy...
