    Acetone is not a good idea! (IMO)

    It will screw w/ your ECU, seals and oxygen sensors.

    No way would I add it to my car!

    if you need to do something like this, trade your car in for a Focus. Or go on a ramen noodle diet! ;)

    Anyone here watch MythBusters? They did this with mothballs and said it was plausible.

    I tried it and realized almost a 10% increase in mpg. Not really enough to make it worthwhile imho.
