Replying to: gagrice (Aug 15, 2008 10:34 am) I think it's a risky thing to do - but if it can save a person hundreds of dollars a year on gas, they will do it.   And I don't think any warranty EVER will get denied because of using acetone, because I don't think anyone will ever use it enough to damage their internals.   On fighting 'Yota in court: If I knew 'Yota could not PROVE I damaged my car, and they were refusing to fix it based on an assumption, and that repair was going to cost me $5,000, and I still owed $20,000 on it and wanted to keep the car, then YES I might decide to take them to small claims court.   Is that decision right for every situation? Of course not. But if you are the kind of person who wants to use acetone in your car (I tried it in my HCH with underwhelming results) then I don't think worrying about a denied warranty needs to come into play.
#285 of 332 Why the continued discussion on Acetone? by shipo Aug 15, 2008 (3:28 pm)
For various reasons, Acetone has been scientifically tested as a fuel additive since at least the 1930s, and it has never once yielded any positive results with regards to BSFC. With that in mind, acetone use has been relegated to a religious thing, some believe and loudly profess that belief, some do not and aren't shy about saying so, and everybody else sits on the sidelines and scratches their collective heads wondering what all the fuss is about.   Best regards, Shipo

Well there's an award for everything now. So why not one for the gas savers?   Just Ask Dub Schwartz! and you'll get an answer.

Not really a gizmo or gadget, but a FL couple were sentenced in a biodiesel scheme that bilked investors out of $21 million.   Don't Be A Sucker Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 24, 2008 6:54 am) nortsr1 (Aug 24, 2008 11:16 am) texases (Aug 24, 2008 12:43 pm)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Aug 24, 2008 6:02 am) It never ceases to amaze me in this day of information, how many people are so uninformed. What is amazing in this scam is the time frame. Nine years ago fuel was dirt cheap. Probably caught a lot of greenie types thinking they would save the planet. Get rich quick schemes take advantage of humans that are all greedy from birth.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 24, 2008 6:54 am) Well, there's a sucker born every minute, as shown in today's Dilbert strip: Wanna make a million?
