Original Message I just drive to NY from Florida (moving).

I have a Dodge Caravan and drove it to Florida totally empty - I even took out the back seats. I drove it back to NY totally packed (at least 1200+ lbs).

In other vehicles I get better mileage going to Fl than coming back to NY.

On the way down empty I averaged 22-23mpg. On the way back to NY fully loaded - packed - I averaged a little better than 23mpg.

The only difference is that on the way here from Florida I added 3 oz of acetone (nail polish remover) every time I filled the tank. Without it I would have been lucky to get 20mpg.

I read that it usually takes a couple of tanks to get the full effect and I started with the fill-up the morning that I left.

I was happy.

By the way gas prices suck!! - and the interstate was PACKED!
