If I remember this right, you will burn the gas more efficently. That is it,

I actually remember that episode!^^ However I feel that they only tried it on one car, and cars are different, same idea and principal but on a much older car with higher mileage/km's it might make a difference, but yes they proved it busted!! (not disagree'n with you)

Good thread on this at another forum I frequent: Acetone for improved mileage? - Corner-Carvers Forums

Bottom line, not worth doing.

Cheers,
