Has this one been around the block a few times?

It was an interesting read.

Acetone In Fuel Said to Increase Mileage
"Readily-available chemical added to gas tank in small proportion improves
the fuel's ability to vaporize completely by reducing the surface tension
that inhibits vaporization of some fuel droplets."

Chat room chat about acetone - mostly diesel cars.

This is for diesels mostly ...and mogas WITHOUT alcohol in it. A few
ounces/10 gallons is all you use.

In gasoline engines, unburned Hydrocarbons amount to about 1% of the total
fuel, and most of those come from crevices such as the gap around the piston
above the top ring, and around the spark plug - the compression and pressure
rise pushes the mixture into these spots where the flame front is quenched.
The next largest source is a thin layer that is quenched at the cylinder
walls from the heat loss to the metal.

I don't have the numbers handy for diesels, but I'm reasonably confidant
that the percentage isn't a lot different even if the sources are different
(over rich areas in the fuel spray generate soot due to inadequate air and
some of the mixture around the fringe of the spray is too lean to burn).

The fact of the matter is that the moon landings are fake, the alien
autopsies are real, and the thousands of engineers that work for all the
auto companies all around the world (that look at fuel sprays and
combustions with lasers, high speed cameras, optically transparent engines
of all types, computer modeling, etc.) are completely unaware of potential
fuel consumption improvements like this one.
