30% more efficient

Paanta, I agree with your first point but not the second.

If acetone is the magical elixir of fuel efficiency, I'm sure it would be more widely used. I'm sure someone out there is trying this thing right now and will report their findings back to us in this thread (hint, I like charts, lots and lots of charts).

I disagree with your assessment of the oil companies. There is no advantage for them to advertise fuel efficiency based on acetone, because that's not a brand-specific advantage.

In other words, Chevron cannot say "only Chevron Techron works with Acetone, buy our gas!"
