I'd say that most people who are willing to try this already drive fuel
consciously. Yes I would agree that there will be some initial extra "taking
it easy" type of driving, however any good study is usually conducted over a
long period of time to minimise outside influences. From what I can see
there has not been a proper scientific study undertaken into the effect of
adding tiny amounts of acetone to petrol/gas/benzin.
The whole thing does stink of snake oil but I am interested wether there is
any benefit in using acetone to raise the octane level in fuel or at the
least, wether acetone somehow interacts with the fuel.
I would like to think that the oil companies are doing the right thing by us
and producing the best quality fuel that they can.

An acquaintance told me he tried it and it worked as claimed.
Did he change his driving habits at all? I've seen 10-15% changes in
mileage in some cars just from driving slower. If someone is testing a
new fuel economy additive it's likely they'll drive more carefully for a
while.
