<div>Adding acetone cannot make the gas evaporate faster. The acetone
will evaporate at its normal rate, leaving the gasoline to evaporate
at ITS normal speed. Eventually all the acetone will be gone, leaving
a reduced amount of acetone-free gas.</div>

<div>Incidentally, I have run a Honda XL175 on an acetone/turpentine
mix... ran out of gas and that took me across town to a gas station no
problem!</div>
