curious to know why he only got 17mpg to start out with...

also, 10MPG boost for adding acetone? Don't think so. Sorry acetone lovers, but I don't think 2oz of acetone are going to make THAT much of a difference.

Perhaps the last leg of his testing was also lots of highway miles...

or he's just making it all up. :P

probably fake.
you only see him entering values into an excell sheet. never where he gets these values from. funny video though

Yeah, he's full of it. 2 MPG for 5w20 oil? 2 MPG for taking out his spare? Obliviously trying to seem credible to back up his amazing acetone formula.

It's a lie. Acetone makes a difference in some cars, but not like that. I would say about 10% in my car. A 50% just doesn't make sense.

We'll I can believe he double his mileage, he's doing what most are on here. I just think he left out the rest of the story. You could probably double your mileage with the SG, turning the AC off and a tune up and were working to increase FE. If you were getting 17 MPG in a car that should get 25 or better EPA. In the video It shows him grabing the nozzel that dark green, In Texas that diesel. Maybe thats the secret.:rolleyes:

All in all pretty hoakie but he got a great commerical voice. I was waiting for him to throw out "but wait there's more".

Ha ha, that's what my wife said. She started adding to the list of mods :

"... then I took my steering wheel off and the weight reduction added another 1 MPG!"

"... then I read on the Internet that some people use spare tire donuts, so I went the next step and started driving on my rims. Suddenly no one would cross the intersection when the sparks flew, so now I can cross at red lights. That gained me another 3 MPG!"

Please add your mods (in commercial voice only)!
