What is the best fuel treatment for a Geo 97?

Techron to clean fuel injectors, spark plugs etc. If you're trying to improve gas mileage, use gas with no ethanol. Also, you can add 2 fl. oz of pure acetone per 10 gallons (they have it at Walmart for $1). It increased the overall gas mileage in my 1996 1.3 metro automatic about 4%. If I use 10% ethanol fuel however, acetone has no effect, and my gas mileage drops from 42 to 37 mpg (with or without acetone added).
