I dont know if it will increase mileage but it sure did increase power, atleast in my 85 Ford F150 pickup, I put alittle in and drove around alittle while to work it into the fuel lines an carb. I was getting tire spin alot easier then it normally does.

Best thing to do, is buy a hybrid or something.

Acetone will increase mileage, sure. But it will also start to dissolve the inside of your fuel lines.
Leaks will start to appear in a few months to a year. Then you will have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace every high pressure fuel line in your car- maybe even the injectors themselves.
There are quite a few chemicals that you can add to get short term performance- but most are not compatible with all the parts in your car.
If you want to add something- stick to a product from a reputable company that has been tested over a long period of time.

CNW found that hybrids use more total energy in their lifetime than their gasoline-powered cousins. Even a Hummer, the ultimate bane of the environmentalist world -- uses less total energy over its lifetime than any hybrid (including the halo special, the Prius), Car and Driver magazine said.

Yeh, that helps-
Also it mainly causes problems with fuel-injected vehicles since the fuel pressure is alot higher in them and leaks are more likely and devastating.

Gas Dryer / Heat.
Gets the water out of the take that the occasional gas station may add and has a similar effect / without the disolving of anything.
Well, with less disolving / as with over use, you may have an issue.
And it goes great with Diet Coke too!
