There are claims it increases mileage. There are conflicting claims. It certainly reduces hydrocarbon emissions in the exhausts. It certainly should
however produce more output from the engine, so I don't see why miles wouldn't increase, but mileage is average anyway at the best of times, depends
on the tuning of the car, tyres, weight of the car, road surface, gears, etc so mileage as a measurment requires many repeats and standard procedures
which are best to repeat in a lab with a engine set up than on the road!

Im sure plenty of people have jobs in working out what fuels make cars more efficient,
If acetone was known to increase it significantly it would already be used- acetone is extremly cheap!

Most cars are not tuned to run on high octane fuels, in fact most cars are tuned to run on 95octane. The fuel industry will not change the fuel blend
to a higher octane if most cars run on a lower octane. Also the industry has other additives it can blend in, also there is little point in blending
in acetone when the fuel manufacturers can achieve a suitable blend using cracked branched hydrocarbons. Think of scales of economy. however it is
easy enough to add the desired % to you own engine. In fact you can buy, allbeit pricey, additives OTC to blend into your fuel to clean the engine etc
or to raise the power etc, these are a blend of oxygenated fuels and branched alkanes.
