gas milage increase tricks

[cheezhead1952]

good day!

 

i've been reading a lot of chatter lateley about 2-3 ounces of acetone per 10 gals of pump gas giving anywhere from 3-4 mpgs, to 5 + ,phs per gallon claimed.. is there anything to it? or is it like the old fable of moth balls in the tank and the tooth fairy????

thanks

Acetone will not do it, but dimethyl ketone will.

Acetone is dimethyl-ketone and it is not a silver bullet either.

I know, I just wanted to see if anybody would catch it. Acetone is also known as 2-propanone by the IUPAC classification. I would not try anything like that in my gas tank.

Not to mention what it can do to some of your seals and hoses too. It is nasty stuff.

Good paint thinner and degreaser though.

No arguement there and good paint remover too with some types of paint.

I have read that acetone will increase MPG. However, if there is any trace of ethanol in the fuel you are in for trouble. Given that many states now require ethanol at 10% to help with smog this could be a problem.

i have gained up to 7mpg with a flowmaster force2 cat back and k&n air intake system its costly in the beginning but worth it in the end

Thats a 50% increase in mileage, do you have any bridges for sale?

[getcrunk88]

well isnt that assuming that i would be getting 14 mpg when u dont even know what engine i have teh the truck so dont assume. K&N says up to 2-3 mpg increase FLOWMASTER also said that their exhaust system will make the truck gain horse power and fuel efficency so in my case i gained up to 7 mpg i did the math so just dont critizize shi7 when u havent even tried it.

He meant to say "I gained up to 7 dB..."

If you go by the claims of aftermarket vendors, then you've gained over 40 horsepower too.

 

Knowing what all GM cars have for engines, even if you got 20MPG before the "mods" then that claimed 7 is still 35%, which is still a joke. So if you get the average 14 MPG like 90% of GM trucks do, then you come up with a wopping 50%

 

Also look up the words "fuel efficency". It does not mean better fuel mileage.

 

Also, please read what you post, before you post it.
