Lightbulb acetone

I put 5 ounces of acetone into my (19.6 gallon) tank last week and i'm anxiously waiting until i fill-up to see if my mpg's increased. I plan on testing this for at least a month, or until my 32 oz. of acetone is gone.

My 3.0L '91 ranger has 177,000 miles and i'm getting 20-23 mpg's without acetone. Has anyone else tried this yet? I'm using approx. 2½ ounces per 10 gallons of fuel.
