I read the thread on adding acetate to increase mileage. I will admit that I found it as new information to me. I am all for anyone trying something new and as some claim it works, I can't argue When I was a young pup guys used to talk about putting moth balls in the gas tank to get more power and ultimately speed out of their cars..I don't know if that worked either. However I would be very cautious to try acetate for the fact that "O" rings, rubber gaskets etc could possibly suffer some kind of damage, especially in the fuel injected systems of today. There has been ads for "Gas GENIE" inour local paper, claiming to get up to 20% better mileage...it has been proven nationally to be a farse, does nothing for mileage. I do have something that I guarantee will increase your mileage In my teaching career I certified to teach Driver's Education and I did learn a lot to pass on to students..this will increase your mileage... Pump all tires up to the Maximum manufacturers PSI recommendation Install a new air filter with each service of your vehicle Clean out all unnecessary weight from your vehicle such as tool boxes, cartons of oil, truck cap toppers, roof racks Don't do jack rabbits starts..accelerate smoothly to highway speed Drive the speed limit, use cruise I do these things and I get 25.1 mpg in a 2001 GMC clubcab 2x2. My wife's Pontiac van gets 34mpg on highway trip at highway speed Now if you think I'm all wet try my suggestions and you can't help but get better fuel mileage...It raining here and I couldn't do anything at the farm..could you tell?..Mike in Exeter Ontario
