Acetone to improve gas mileage?

Organizers behind a project involving the use of acetone as a fuel additive claim an improvement in mileage of up to 35 percent. Used in small amounts, this commonly-found chemical is said to aid in the vaporization of gasoline or diesel, increasing efficiency, performance and the life of a vehicle's engine.
