I have a Ford Ranger 2000 and I don't get more than 24 on the highway when it should be around 28 or even 30 as a lot people say.

For information on using acetone as a mileage booster, go to
www.lubedev.com/smartgas
I am testing with acetone in a 81 mercedes 240 diesel and have seen the mileage increase from 28.5 to 36 MPG. The only thing I have done besides adding the acetone was to adjust the engine timing. The 36 MPG came when the average speed was around 45 MPH which is my normal driving to and from work. At 55-60 MPH it drops to 33 MPG. I have not had a chance to test with my wifes 96 blazer, but one friend at work has used acetone and reported a 2 MPG increase consistantly in an Acura. Best advise I can give is the go to the website and read the info there and make your own conclusion through testing. The amount of acetone used per gallon is so small there is no way it can cause harm to the engine. You must use 100% acteone though, which I've had no problem finding at advance auto parts stores.

Wow I certainly have been a mechanic for over 30 years and that ranks up there with blinking fluid. there is no such concern and all I might desire to assert is that if the guy who informed you this had to pay on your automobile being fastened while it blows up unwell wager this person diden't attempt this themselfs

you don't want to run acetone in it,you,ll wind up having injector problems with it,add gas treatment to it ,but not acetone,it has a percentage of water in it,you don't need that in the engine,good luck on it.

Explorers don't get good mileage. If you are worried about MPG buy a economical car.
