Really it does. GM paid 100 million to cover it up. Last night I heard all about its' development on the radio. You know , that AM radio station that you listen to when you cant sleep at 3 in the morning.This  person on the radio said that he knew the developer personally, and this is how it all happened....... This guy was cleaning parts at work with gasoline and somehow acetone got included in the mixture. Well , this guy was called away from the parts that he  was cleaning, and when he returned all the gas was evaperated(got your interest now?) He discovered that this acetone had caused the gas to vaporize quickly. He put this to work in his car and the rest should have been history(yeah right). Eventually, he setteled upon 2 ounces of acetone  per gallon of premium gasoline as the perfect ratio. His Oldsmobile 442 got 75 mpg with this.He said that the premium gas was needed to retard the combustion of this quickly vaporized gas until the proper time. Or was it that premium
 retards were combusted  quickly at the proper time?. Dont remember exactly as it was 3AM. Dosent matter anyway. How many times do you get a chance to save civilization all by yourself? Not many I would guess, and the risks are worth it. So I ask, are there any listees out there that would like to try this out?I would do this myself , but my vanagon wont let me( this is my only vehicle), and I cant afford a tank of premum gas anyway.Perhaps a someone has an old vehicle that can be donated to this cause. Maybe a friend needs a birthday present of a tank of premum gas(birthday not till next april).Let us know the results on this list.Roger
