from a quick web search, seems to be no doubt that it increases mileage, from 10 to 30% or so, as the claims go.
My concern would be what acetone does to the fuel system's rubber & plastic components over time. Although folks that use it don't seem to have ill effect, straight acetone will disolve plastics & lots more in no time, so I'd guess that the low concentration is not an issue.
Quick and dirty calculations would suggest that you might save a few hundred bucks or more over 20,000 miles.
That's not enough to tempt me with the (I think) unknown solvent effects but it sure is intriguing.
