Sounds a little too good but may be worth a try. Any other opinions out there?

4oz to how many gallons of gas, and at what rating (87, 89, 93) the number of miles you drove anything like would be useful

I was trying to get with the 3 oz to 10 gals of gas. I put in 15 gal so I went with 4 oz. Probably should went with 5 since the tank is 18 gal. We use 85 octane here in CO. Like I said, I'll post results next tank.

That is hilarious! Notice the article is adapted by a woman? The reason I say this is because my wife is an esthetician and she uses acetone in removing nail polish and gel tip fake nails when doing manicures. I have 2 gallons of pure acetone in my closet for goodness sakes! I gotta try this.......
