What do you guy think about putting acetone in my gas?

I've been doing this for about 6 months now. I add 1oz for every ten gallons of gas I put in. The first time I tried it I immediately noticed a little better throttle response. The HUGE mileage increases they talk about are a little off although I did see on average 1 to 2 more miles per gallon. I haven't seen any wear and tear on gaskets and such either.
The key to this working (even a little) is making sure you use PURE acetone. Just grabbing your wife's fingernail polish remover won't work and could really mess things up unless the bottle says it is 100% acetone.
So all in all, is it worth it? I dunno. It's a pain in the butt to put in every time and God help you if you spill any on your paint. To me it seems like a bottle of Seafoam once a month or so in the gas will do the same thing.
Hope this helps...
