Increase your gas mileage with nail polish remover

Maybe?
Wisebread has some info on how pure acetone (a.k.a nail polish remover) might increase your gas mileage by 10 mpg.

Wisebread points out that because the acetone burns so hot it may ruin like gaskets and O-rings but how much will those gaskets and O-rings cost you compared to saving 10 mpg on gas I wonder?
I’d be interested to see how the acetone works in the long run with a car.
Anyone tried this with an older model vehicle?
