Sounds a little to good to be true. What exactly would acetone do to your motor over an extended period of time?

All the suggestions up until Acetone are common sense. I am shore that they work to some degree. If Acetone was the answer we would have heard about it long before now. The only thing I can see it doing is breaking down any lubricants in the crankcase through combustion contamination.

If it was a secret that oil companies didn't want us to know, then wouldn't mechanics, etc have worked it out? And the other 99+% of the population NOT in an oil company? Unfortunately the acetone thing will probably not change your mpg, but rather root your warranty. :(
