$4.50 a quart at ACE. The chemical additive that it's supposed to nutruelize, is a EPA required additive, begins with the letter "M", can't think of it, but is also a known carcinogen, and kills fuel economy.

As I understand it, works well in premium grades (no ethonol), not very well in midgrades, not at all in regular grades. Provides a more even and thorough burn through the combustion chamber. Understand is more like 2.5 ounces per 10 gallons, and the percentage gain in HP and fuel economy savings more than offsets the 20 cents more per gallon.

Rusty's right. Too many people start doing it, acetone will go to $10 per quart, or become illegal. Funny thing, folks can't afford gas to heat their homes, so turning to wood burners. Wonder how long before huggers will stop that too? If it's helpful, must be portrayed as evil and be banned, or become so cost prohibitive, may as well be banned.
