USA Using Acetone as a Gas Additive

Recently information has come out about using 100% acetone as a gasoline additive. Benefits claimed are increased gas mileage, reduced pollution, and longer life to engines. Acetone costs about $10 per gallon and only requires 1-3 ounces per 10 gallons of gas. Has anyone tried this yet? If so, what are your experiences? Here is a link with detailed information.

Who's actually done the acetone dealio? I'm too lazy to go out and buy it. Although, his results did get me interested. I did do the other free mods he put and I did like the one where he shows how to reduce drag
