Acetone added to Gasoline
after postings on the subject made the rounds, what the general
consensus did ya'll come to? Is it a good idea, does it increase mileage, is it harmful to the fuel system, just what is the general consensus on it? If it really works the government should mandate it's usage in consumer gasoline. mho vƒe >double dog dare you, sound familiar? >to reduce your driving by *-**10%. |

ANd I forgot to mention: Propane has a (R+M)/2 rating of about 110. No additives needed (except for perhaps mercaptan based odorants). -- -john wide-open at throttle dot info |
