Acetone in fuel tank to increase gas mileage??

Anyone using acetone in their trucks?

My brother in law came in today and said he heard that a few ounces of acetone in the fuel tank will help increase the miles per gallon of a vehicle.

I have to admit I've never heard of this before so I did a quick search and found contradicting information. Some say no, it's bad for the rubber parts while others swear by it and have been using it for many years with no ill effects while increasing their mpg.

This site form a chemical forum also has some good info on it.
