The verdict is that is pretty much a myth. It might help clean things up but there are better and safer products to do that.

This guy does a good job of debunking the myth that it will increase your mileage: http://www.fuelsaving.info/acetone.htm

I did try it, before I found the above link, on an my old '87 4.0L gasoline jeep and it did not produce any benefit that I could measure. Save your money on the Acetone and use a good diesel additive instead.
