Actually there IS a guy that was recently interviewed on TV who has
invented an additive that supposedly incrases gas mileage by as much as
"35%". It is being evaluated by several towns in big diesel trucks and
one school system in their buses. It is EPA approved for use as an
additive. According to early reports from the towns using this stuff they
are confirming fuel usage is decreasing, but only by 10%. It is
supposedly can be used in your home furnace as well. Another report saw a
30% improvement in gas mileage, but I don't remember what the vehicle was.
The following links may be of interest. Personally I am a little
skeptical of all this "magic" stuff... A well tuned Vanagon is what I aim
for.

Really it does. GM paid 100 million to cover it up. Last night I heard all
about its' development on the radio. You know , that AM radio station that
you listen to when you cant sleep at 3 in the morning.This person on the
radio said that he knew the developer personally, and this is how it all
happened....... This guy was cleaning parts at work with gasoline and
somehow acetone got included in the mixture. Well , this guy was called
away from the parts that he was cleaning, and when he returned all the
gas was evaperated(got your interest now?) He discovered that this acetone
had caused the gas to vaporize quickly. He put this to work in his car and
the rest should have been history(yeah right). Eventually, he setteled
upon 2 ounces of acetone per gallon of premium gasoline as the perfect
ratio. His Oldsmobile 442 got 75 mpg with this.He said that the premium
gas was needed to retard the combustion of this quickly vaporized gas
until the proper time. Or was it that premi!
um
retards were combusted quickly at the proper time?. Dont remember
exactly as it was 3AM. Dosent matter anyway. How many times do you get a
chance to save civilization all by yourself? Not many I would guess, and
the risks are worth it. So I ask, are there any listees out there that
would like to try this out?I would do this myself , but my vanagon wont
let me( this is my only vehicle), and I cant afford a tank of premum gas
anyway.Perhaps a someone has an old vehicle that can be donated to this
cause. Maybe a friend needs a birthday present of a tank of premum
gas(birthday not till next april).Let us know the results on this
list.Roger
