I wouldn't do it. I know the claims you talk about, and it might help mileage now, but you're going to run into problems down the road. The problem is the acetone will degrade rubber parts unless the engine is built for it. Maybe the A3 can handle it, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Give me your car and I'd be glad to test it. Do an internet search on the subject.
