anyone still running acetone in their gas?

Yes, I have one of those. It kind of bulky, but it is surprisingly accurate. Just recently had a chance to test it with a couple of full tanks of gas I used on my vacation and it came up with about the same fuel used and MPG as I got dividing the gallons used into the miles driven. I like it and I can watch my intake temps and timing with the turbo.

Cool I may have to invest in one of those.

Another is that cold intake air improves mileage. NO. Warm air improves mileage.
I'm interested in trying this. May have to pick up a bottle this afternoon.

I'm sorry, but my vehicles always seem to perform better and get better gas mileage in the winter. Colder, denser air. Perhaps someone can help me out here.

Fuel injected vehicles are much more responsive to the colder air than carburated due to the temp and point of vaporization in the intake system. Carburators run a little better with a little warmer air than fuel inj. due to the improved vaporization within the carburator. In fuel inj motors the fuel doesnt vaporize as much until it enters the combustion chamber.

Similar Discussion going on over on the SS board, though they seem to favor toluene or xylene as opposed to acetone. They're all aromatics, so they should do roughly the same thing.

Corvette folks discuss toluene as well:
