I don't use acetone (as I mentioned above) and am a skeptic, but I think there's a few things to address here...

Are you suggesting that gasoline is not ridiculously volatile?
Does anyone know if there's a measure of volatility?

it would evaporate out faster than you could use 1/4 of the tank, thus only giving you the advantage for a short time.

Do you have a car that doesn't have a sealed fuel system with evaporative emissions control? Fuel vapors go into the charcoal canister and end up getting burned in the engine.

third the stuff is very hydrophillic. nothing like absorbing water from the air and pumping that into your engine.

Worse than ethanol? Ethanol is 10% of your gas.
Worse than methanol, too? If you somehow manage to have water in your gas, you put Drygas or HEET in, which is (usually) methanol, whose purpose is specifically to absorb as much water as possible.
Any water in the air in your gas tank is going into your engine, whether it goes through the ethanol that comes in your gas, any additive you put in, or if it just condenses and gets sucked into the fuel pump without binding to something flammable. You
want it bound to something flammable (like ethanol, methanol, or acetone if you're one of those silly people who would try acetone).
