Cool Cheap octane booster???

I just read that you can icrease pump gas to 100 octane by mixing it with 10% acetone. This comes from a rocket scientist from rocketdyne. has anyone else heard this? any other ways for a cheaper octane booster?

Yup, tis true! GN/T-type guys have been doing this for a while. I'd suggest a search over at www.turbobuick.com.
