Does acetone increase your gas mileage or increase your MPG? Does acetone harm your engine? Where can you get acetone and how do you use it? This is an acetone test I performed on my 2008 Ford Ranger over the course of the last 3 months and 10,000 miles. To date, I have seen no negative effects, only positive ones. My truck's fuel consumption dropped, and is now averaging just over 31 MPG according to my new scangauge! The EPA stickers on my car showed a MPG rating of 21 city/26 hwy, so I've made some huge improvements, and increased my cars fuel economy by about 32%. If I can do it so can you, watch the video, or visit my website to learn how. www.vonHypermiler.com

  • hmm nice video and I like the idea! but the fact that it is not fully tested and the fact that you could make more damage than good is actually quit a risk! I believe this works better on all older models of cars. for all newer cars with computers would probably get

    (beeped) up for its all done over pc unlike older models where its simple. air suply-gas-chamber...and combustion! but heck why not! I will think of trying it!

  • My truck did better and its the latest model available: a 2008 Ford Ranger.  Though I do believe you are right about a vehicles computer. The way the injectors are programmed is why you see varying results between manufacturers as opposed to linear results as you see in older model cars. (Pre 96)

  • it's liter. you're spelling it like a litter of kittens or what cats piss on.

  • i guess we should just kill everybody then since we all release carbon dioxide and methane. go plant a tree to even out the carbon level and shut up.

  • Acetone is now $13.00 to 14.00 or more per gallon.

  • i hate the accent of this video..

  • I tried this in my 1999 Corolla. It REDUCED my gas mileage. This was also attempted on Mythbusters.

  • Hi :) Just wanted to thank you for your amazing video :)

  • @TheKx250r Yes, If you do some research, acetone in diesel does in fact work, although the amount needed is slightly less, and a lot of people seem to do good with 2.5oz per 10gal, although you will need to experiment and see for yourself. And the other thing I'm tired of hearing is IT DOESN'T work on the first tank! If you really think about it it's kind of a no shit thing, it's not mixed, and so it's not going to work well. Just keep putting it in and you'll see results.

  • Cant you fucking talk normal i cant understand a word you say

  • can it work with diesel

  • speak proper english, i had to go back and forward to understand each sentence
