can acetone help gas mileage?

[Figit090]

i was looking at these "hack" videos on kipkay.com and one test he did was to increase gas mileage. i think when he added a few ounces of acetone to 10 gallons of gas he increased his gas mileage 10 miles/gallon.

i was wondering;

1 - did he just clean out his fuel system by doing this?
2 - or does it really just help the gas burn better?
3 - do you think it could harm any part of the car, fuel system, engine, tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, etc....
