Hey if you want to have some fun, try dropping a quart of commercial ether in the tank. Can't say much for the mileage but it makes the horses come out and run...

We figured out how much more fuel was used when climbing a steep hill, and how little was used on a level stretch of road. He told me that he has added acetone to the fuel tank on his Lexis 430, which is equipped with a V8 engine, and that he has gotten as high as mpg30. He did warn me to avoid contact with any surfaces, if I decided to give it a try. I have not done so at this time. This is the same product which has been used for cleaning carburetors in the long ago, if this hillbilly's memory serves.
