Research on the internet -> acetone. Sounds reputable. Someone call GM, Ford and Chrysler, I think we have a winning formula to blow away all those hybrids.
Okay we all know that Neonspinnazz dosen't have a Smart Car yet so who wants to try this first? Or should we wait til Neonspinnazz gets his Smart Car and report his findings.... Hmmmmm
I'll wait till someone else tries it. Not me. Not in my smart. A 43.5 avg. is damned good as it is.
Why not just keep it tuned and those tires inflated properly? And oh, quit with the lead foot already.
"If adding acetone increases fuel efficiency by even 10% that means that 10% more of the fuel is being burned, which in turn means that without acetone no more than 90% of the fuel is burning, and 10% is being exhausted as unburned hydrocarbons. This is demonstrably not true. Most cars already have a combustion efficiency of > 98%. Therefore there is very little room for improvement, and any claim for more than a 1-2% increase in efficiency by this method is simply not plausible. Further, gasoline and diesel already have a very low surface tension - so there isn’t much room for improvement there.We can also analyze the probability on the basis of the industry. If significant gains in fuel efficiency were possible by such a simple method I would think that the auto industry would be all over it. There is sufficient competition among various automakers to create an incentive for such an improvement, and increased fuel economy is a big marketing point these days."
