Ok, since the General Explorations forum is closed to new posts, (repalced by Generation specific forums) and the Acetone thread is in there, I'm moving my results here.
My first tank.
214.5 miles
15.009 gal
Moving average per GPS 27.6 mph
14.3mpg, all city driving.
Same as without Acetone, maybe even a little less than before.
Arco 91 octane, Apten (Brian Herron) tune for my mod's listed below
tire pressure 31.5 front 30.5 rear 3.73 gears w/31x10.5 tires.
Second tank;
2oz/10gal
178 miles
11.606 gal Arco 92 octane, 92 performance tune
GPS moving average 31.4 mph
15.33 mpg.
Typical for that driving, a little more freeway than the first tank. I wasn't too gentle with the skinny pedal.
Third tank;
2oz/10gal
247.5 miles
14.234 gal Arco 92 octane, 92 performance tune
GPS moving average 43.6 mph
19.09 mpg
Road trip to the Ocean. half freeway/half 2 lane highway and some very slow driving in town (Long Beach Wa.)
Pretty good mpg but I get my best at 60 mph. Maybe a little better than usual.
Fourth tank;
2oz/10gal
128 miles
5.516 gal Union 76 92 octane, 92 performance tune
GPS moving average 57.8 mph
23.2 mpg!!
Return from the beach. All freeway driving.
The best I have EVER gotten in the 5 years I've owned my X and recorded the MPG's is 19.95 mpg, I have NEVER broken 20mpg (until now! )
My tire pressure is still pretty low at 31.5/30.5. I wasn't driving down hill all the way. There wasn't a hurricane behind me giving me a 60 mph tailwind.
3.2 mpg improvement is significant, at least for me
5th tank;
2oz/10gal Arco 92 octane
318 miles
Forgot to reset GPS moving average but this tank included a 4 hour freeway round trip to jrgaylor's house to prep for a suspension lift.
16.039gal
19.82mpg probable 1mpg improvement but definetly NOT LESS than pre-acetone
6th tank;
2oz/10gal Safeway 92 octane
235 miles
30.8 mph GPS moving average
15.058 gal
15.61 mpg
This tank included a 20 mile rolling hill freeway trip towing a 3800# boat. (read WOT several times)
This tank is on par with historical averages, again not less than expected.
Stay tuned kids, I've barely touched that gallon of Acetone in the garage.
Please, lets keeep this on topic?
