I'll have to check the bottle and see what;s in the additive I use.
Lucas fuel additive can be used for diesel or gas engines. When I add the occasional dose to my diesel, it improves my mileage more than it costs.
Alos supposed to clean injectors, etc. Seems to work for me.
Salsa does not improve mileage; except when ingested with chips.

No, it is an alcohol. While there are distillation impurities in all spirits that are ketones, booze is not a good source of ketones.
Cheap tequila has a good supply of ketones in it and may lead to better gas mileage when taken internally before driving. It could get you all the
way to a state-run prison without using any of your gas.

I knew there was a reason I like tequila (Real Hacienda).
I know I'll get good mileage with that stuff, but the only thing I will ever drive on those Ketones is my fishing pole.
and no, not the boat I don't have yet either. I like to beach fish and imbibe, but not on a boat, well maybe a couple if I'm not driving.

My pa used benzene, tolulene triclorethylene, MEK, acetone xylene all the time for evaporative films in early electronics. . He tried all of em in his
cars in various ratios.
His main probem was inferior hoses and seals and he was overzealous with their use. He always said acetone was his favorite but gave up his quest in
the early 70s for a better fuel. He used to wash up with trichlor!
He chain smoked also but never got cancer from anything. His ticker quit at 80.
My auto shop teacher showed us the coke bottle trick too.
I must sat Al, you DO know yer way around the combustion engine.
Ain't nuttin' wrong wit a lil' perimentin', done some myself

A warning
With the responses to the coke bottle "trick" and some implied credit, I think it is time to warn about a danger.
If for some reason you try this, do it when you intend to travel long enough to dry out the exhaust system.
I don't think it will work on cars with brains anyway. Just use acetone. Will do the same thing.
