Ethanol is a type of alocohol, lol. But yea, I remembering reading a guide about it a very long time ago that said using acetone with gas with alcohol in it didn't do anything because the acetone bonded with the water molecules in the alcohol and therefor didn't increase octane. Or some such. However now that we've had the stuff around for a bit, I am sure somewhere someone has figured out if it works with the new gas or not.

Hmmm... I like to hear if there is a new way to mix with the Ethanol, I just want to be absolutely positive before doing anything to my Yaris.
