Fuel Savings in Hard Times (Tank2)

-- Second tank... testing at 0.5 ounces of acetone per gallon of gas. --

I refilled on Sunday. I put just over 20 gallons of gas in and calculated 17.1 mpg. So it appears obvious that with the current air/fuel ratio of my Tahoe 0.8 ounces did not perform as well as 0.5 ounces. Currently I'm running a tank with no additives and will report the economy when I refuel.

My plan next is to Seafoam, to change out plugs and wires and possibly upgrade to a synthetic oil (I'm thinking Amsoil). I will let you know what I end up doing.

Oh... I intend to track my progress in this spreadsheet (follow the below link).
