[Shotimes] Increase Gas Mileage

[Bruce Malachuk]

I tried the acetone in the tank thing I have read about on the web. Shure as
shit it worked. I get 3-4mpg better on the highway now, using 5 oz to a full
fill up.

Also we ran this way in a friends 4.2L MTX f-150 the other day on the way to
buffalo to pickup my new 97 ES. His best ever mileage was 18mpg never going
above 55mph and coasting a lot. We were flying along at 85 with a 650lb
dolly behind us and got 16.51mpg over a 288mile one way trip. That was 8oz
of acetone to a 25 gallon tank. The last 40 miles of the way out there was
thru some really hilly country so that killed the mileage. On the way back
we got 15.51mpg over 292miles while towing a 3800lb car and 650lb trailer at
an average of 75mph.

No hils this time cause we took a more highway route and paid an extra $1 in
tolls.

I think once I add the cam sprocket adjusters and dial out a little overlap
I might get back to my stock best highway mileage of 31mpg.

He did say that he didn't know how many miles the current plugs had on them,
right?  =)
