Summary

make & model of car - 2007 Toyota Tacoma - V6 PreRunner SR5 2WD Quad-Cab
ratio(s) of acetone used (oz / 10 gal) - 1 oz / 10 gal every other tank of gas
mileage before - 20
mileage after - 19
number of miles tested - 2,000+
other observations (power, idle, exhaust) - No obvious performance changes
gasoline used - Wal-Mart, Austin, TX : 87 octane

I am really shocked because I used to put acetone in my 2003 Highlander and did see a 10% gain on my mileage but I am confused why I can't get the same effect on the Tacoma. The main difference between the two cars is that the Tacoma has a V6 engine where the Highlander had a 4 cylinder.

Feb 23, 2007

Just bought a 2007 Tacoma on Feb 14,2007 with only 14 miles on it. I plan to break in the engine first and then guage an accurate "before" mileage test before adding acetone. So far, my first tank of gas yielded 17MPG; then the next two subsequent tanks were 20MPG respectively. I also plan to experiment with tail gate up/down theories as well as buying a tonau cover to see how air flow affects the mileage of my truck.
