Default HOW TO: Increase Gas Mileage

Mix 1-3oz of acetone per 10gal of gas. That should increase your gas mileage 10-30%.

And you do know the number 1 warning on acetone is, it will eat rubber seals and swell up other things ?

Some people put that in there car to pass smog. But thats only 1 time in 2 or 3 years. Not for everday driving.

I've read some reviews..most people gained more like 5% better gas milage, not 10-30% (read the reviews of the other hondas). On our already good gas milage cars, 5% is only a few more mpg and prolly not worth the cost of the acetone and the wear on plastic and other parts.

Prolly not a good idea in general. Ill pass.
