IDK, maybe, but I think it might be some bs...

[TheRealEnth]

especially since its portrayed like that... Its all funny like its a mock of a commercial...

Beware of anything claiming to "double" your gas milage.

Yeah it doesn't seem right.

There's no way in hell I'm stickin' that nail polish shit in my tank

[Revsson]

There are some folks in the Geo Metro world that have used it with pretty good results
but not doubling mileage. Off the top of my head, I can't find the link, but it was
something like 10cc/10 gal tank.

[Latka]

Sounds like something along the lines of chopping a mothball in half and dropping it in the tank to raise the octane rating.

I'll stick with regular gas, thanks. ;) I don't have enough money to replace an engine should I blow it up doing something dumb.

[Bredayaris]

A colleague of mine did that to.
Finally here Toyota Starlet fuel tank and tubes wich are made of plastics gave major leakes because plastics dissolve even with small amounts of acetone!

[Bob_VT]

Nope not true.

Might give a miniscule boost in gas mileage but you would probably get the same boost by increasing tire pressure by 1lb.if you do use it dont get any on your paint or it will destroy the finish and be prepared to carry a container of the highly flammable stuff in your trunk.
