How to get better gas milage
How to get better gas millage.

I was driving home from my job one night listening to the radio. I heard something that amazed me and I had to give it a try. My work is about 35 miles one way from my home.
It normally takes me an hour to get home on a good day. This particular night I was listening to an interview on an AM radio station. The guest started his interview by talking about how to get better gas millage. He said that some petroleum experts came out with information stating that putting acetone in gasoline will cause the gas to burn more efficiently.
When I got home I found this information on a webpage.

Simply put, the formula is: between 1-4 oz of acetone to 10 gal of gas
The car I was driving at the time was a 1999 Nissan Altima. The four cylinder engine got pretty good gas millage, but I was filling up almost everyday to make sure I did not have to stop on the way to work to get gas. Adding acetone to the gasoline seemed to give me added pep and better miles per gallon. I did not get an accurate measurement, but my estimates was that I was getting around 24 MPG.
In February I decided to trade that car in. I purchased a 2005 Kia Amanti. It is a very nice car with so many buttons and gadgets that it took me a couple weeks to figure out how they all work. The first thing I noticed was the in dash computer system with an Average MPG function. The first week driving indicated that I was getting 11 miles per gallon.
YIKES! I googled and found that the car has a reputation for getting poor gas millage. I got the acetone out and started by putting in. Beginning with 1 ounce in my 17 gallon tank. That brought the MPG up to around 19 MPG. Since then I have continued to increase the amount of acetone and I am getting between 21-24 MPG.
With the spike of gas prices, this has been a welcome experience.
I have shared this with a few of my co-workers. Last week a friend told me he was getting around 44MPG in his Sukuki. The car normally gets around 30 MPG so that was pretty good to start. He was very excited with his results and was telling everyone about it.
I recommend that you go to the webpage listed and read the report thoroughly. Start small
by putting a little in to see if you get any results. I personally have had good results with this. But, this information is being shared purely as research. What you do with it is at your own risk.

Iron Man 2008
I watched Iron Man 2008 yesterday.
I am a IM fan from the comic books. The movie was a blast. Great to see an old favorite as a film with the speical effects that make things look real.
Robert Downey Jr WAS Tony Stark.
My only critism is this. The old "bad heart" thing that was inherited from the old comic does not make sense these days. Tony Stark is a muliibilionaire technical genius. Back when the comic was first written, heart transplants and open heart surgury was experimental. Today it happens everyday. Now, I can accept a temporary fix to keep the shrapnel out of his heart. But for the ongoing movies, lets get him to the best heart surgeon in the world and take care of it. If his heart is too far gone for repair, Stark can invent a mechanical heart to replace it.
Does Tony Stark really need a tragic flaw to make the story compelling?
I think the arc of him changing from an arrogant spoiled rich kid to a guy who realizes he really does not have everything has plenty of personal stuff for the writers to work with.
I did like the movie. I will watch it again, and I will buy the DVD when it comes out.
By the way, if you have not seen the movie, look for Stan Lee's cameo.
It is quick and it was only afterwards that I thought back and realized
that it was him.
Also, to anyone who left before the credits were over, you missed a big suprise.
NEVER, leave a Marvel movie before the credits have ended.
