burned the house down with Dad's cigarette lighter. That led to a "this hurts me more than it does you"
spanking and a trip to the psychologist. She decided I was perfectly normal! (Whew!) Anyway... here's how to get 7-8 more miles per gallon from your Toyota Corolla. In the past 3 years I have talked exactly 2 people into trying this. Both were really impressed AND they never tried it again! (Everyone will tell you you're nuts! and most people can't deal with that.)
Reference 2005 Acetone Improves Gas Mileage
- Put 3.5 to 4.0 oz acetone per 10 gallons in the tank before you pump the gas. For my car that is usually about 5 ounces. You put it in first so you can "wash it down"with the gasoline and not damage the soft connector between the outside and the gas tank. If you spill some on the paint have a soft cleen cotton cloth handy to wipe it off fast. Acetone eats paint! Acetone also eats cheap plastic! Vietnam ruined 50,000 motorcyles by putting acetone in all the gasoline.
That's why I store my acetone in plastic cough medicine bottles. They are easy to pour from and measure ounces from. If you keep them in a coffee can in the trunk with your soft clean towel they won't tip over unless you let your wife drive the car. Just kidding but when she got run off the freeway and did a 180 deg spin the can did tip over.
- Why does it work? Acetone makes gasoline or diessel more volatile so it vaporizes easier. This means it burns about 25% cleaner in your engine. That just means less of it goes out your tail pipe or ends up as deposits in your engine. You will notice your car runs smoother instantly. I also noticedmy car goes about 1500 miles farther for the same amount of oil degredation. My record for a 13.2 gallon tank of gas is 602 miles. (That included a Texas tail wind, coasting down hills and over-inflated tires!) I'm not recommending any of those things. So far after 47,000 miles my total maintainence bill besides oil changes is for windshield wipers and a rear brake light.
WILL IT INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTEE? SURE! THAT'S WHY YOU BOUGHT A TOYOTA IN THE FIRST PLACE....SO YOU WOULDN'T NEED THE WARRANTEE. OF COURSE
YOU COULD LIE TO THEM.... LIKE THE GOVERNMENT DOES TO US EVERY DAY! IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR THEM? OH... AND DON'T CARRY A BIG CAN OF WALMART ACETONE AROUND IN YOUR CAR! WHEN YOUR WIFE CRASHES ON THE FREEWAY AND A FLAME HITS THAT ACETONE IT WOULD CREATE A TERRIBLE FIRE! and NO SMOKING!! NOTE: I GOT THIS IDEA FROM A BIG BEAUTIFUL, TALL TEXAS BLOND WHO WAS A LOT SMARTER THAN I WAS. She was looking for a big Texas Cowboy who didn't lie about his age and she found one! Thanks Jeannie! PS... They will tell you it doesn't work with gasahol... it works fine! GWB
