Better Gas mileage

Filed under: Logs Greg Lipscomb on November 5, 2005 @ 11:55 am

Here is a simple way to increase your gas mileage in your car. Gas has been really expensive lately, and this website [link] states that if you ad 2-3 ounces of acetone to 10 gallons of gas, it will help the gas to vaporize more easily, and will increase your miles per gallon anywhere from 20-30%. That is 6-8 miles more per gallon. Acetone is cheap, and readily available from any hardware store, or walmart, and one gallon would last a really long time. There is an entire yahoo group forum on this that discusses ways to get better miles per gallon. Some are even building their own carburetors and state that they can get better gas mileage. That is not much help in a fuel injected world, but acetone might just do the trick. (This article has been submitted via my submit news tip. If any of you have a how to project that you would like on my site, feel free to submit it to me, or email me at lipscgr@gmail.com) Thanks Mike Sartor of Spencer, WV.

  12. I know of a product that will safely increase gas mileage 15-25%
    that has been tested by everyone from German automobile engineers
    to NASA. However, it costs a little over $5 a tank to use, which
    maybe a wash anyways, depending on your car. $5 isn’t that much
    to protect our environment. There is tons of research to find on

  22. Just completed 2 750 mile trips (same trips, same gas station for fill-up, same weather, same speeds, …) in a 2003 C230 Mercedes Kompressor. First trip w/ out acetone the mercedes computer read that my mileage was 31.3. With acetone at 2.5 oz per 10 gallons of premimum, (and no other differences) the mileage was 33.2.

    The trips were taken back to back. This was my experience.

  26. Great tip I will check this out myself! You could also try converting your car or truck to burn water and gas. Think its hard to do? think again!

    Using Water and Gas is a technology based on splitting water on board a vehicle, and using the resulting gases not to drive the vehicle – but only to boost the efficiency of its combustion.

    It is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.

    No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, so any backyard mechanic can install it easily.

    The effects of this technology is lowered emissions and improved mileage, simply due to a MORE COMPLETE COMBUSTION. Today’s internal combustion engines suffer from poor efficiency of 20%-25%, as any mechanic will tell you; 75%-80% of the gasoline, instead of being converted to forward motion, is instead converted to pollution and carbon deposits (unburned fuel), as well as heat (global warming), vibration and noise (knocking/pinging).

    THE MAIN PROBLEM IS OVERSIZED FUEL DROPLETS IN THE MIXTURE. The Hydrogen, being such a small particle, hits a droplet, cuts it into smaller droplets and attaches itself to the smaller droplets. Now the finer, hydrogen-enhanced mixture, is capable of burning more thoroughly.

    On top of improved performance, the engine steam-cleans itself every day, and the resulting effect is smoother and quieter operation. One of our staff was shocked when she checked her engine oil and was sure that her oil ran totally out. Actually what happened was that while she was expecting dark brown, dirty oil, the oil was actually so transparent that she could not see it on the dip stick. Her 20-year-old car is as smooth now (with our device on) as it was when she bought it 17 years ago.

    Another lady “complained” that she could not hear the engine running…but to her surprise the car was still moving along.

    Our technology is not capable of running a car on water alone. Our aim is not to replace gasoline but to enhance it – and open the door and the mind to the possibilities of waterfuel technology. With correct fine tuning we can double the mileage, rendering a new energy balance: half gasoline, half water. Very little water is used, in an economy car it’s around 2700 miles per gallon of distilled water, together with 4-6 teaspoons of household baking soda as catalyst. We have demonstrated many times that the fuel consumption of a 4-stroke generator can also be cut in half with our technology.

    All in all, http://www.Gas-Upgrade.com has become a buzzword for practicality and affordability. Our policy is to guide the readers toward a mindset of an experimenter rather than a driver that takes things for granted. We teach them that something can be done about gas prices, pollution and global warming, and they gladly take an active role and help to spread the word.
