I'm trying it
Geez, aren't you the same people that bucked the "real Jeeps don't have IFS" trend and bought KJs? Why are you so skeptical now? [-(
I decided to try it out. I just added 2 oz. to my 18.5 gallon tank last night. So far:
- Idle seems smoother
- Acceleration seems smoother
- Increased low-end horsepower (perceived)
- EVIC has gone from 14.8 mpg to 16.7 mpg.
Before you ask:
Could the smoothness and horsepower be my imagination? Sure.
Could the increase in fuel economy be because I'm hoping to see an improvement, so I'm driving more conservatively? I really don't think so (I haven't seen the EVIC show anything above 15.1 mpg since I lifted and installed my Revos), but I'm willing to concede the possibility.
In any case, if it only costs me $6 per 160 gallons to keep imagining better performance, and keep me driving conservatively enough to see a 2 mpg increase in fuel economy, I think I'll keep doing it.
(My results are EXTREMELY preliminary...if they don't continue past a few tankfuls, or if anyone can come up with a valid reason not to use acetone, I'll stop. But for now I'm very, very impressed.)
If anyone has any sincere interest (or morbid curiosity), I'm posting my results on the LOST website:
