I can only speak to half your query.
Gasoline is paramagnetic and cannot in any way be influenced by a magnetic field.This is true of all hydrocarbon fuels.
I will hazard a guess with respect to fuel warming.Warmer fuel would require less heating to achieve its boiling point ( vaporization ),it would carry more energy into the combustion chamber and enhance the activation energy of the entire makeup of all the various hydrocarbon chains present.
The 200-mpg Pogue and Fish carburetors were premised on full vaporization of the fuel for their fantastic performance,so I believe this is the angle being played here.Just a guess.
The Brown Carburetor Co.,Inc. offered a reproduction of the Fish carburetor(out of production in 1959) in the early 1980s.They only claimed a 20% mpg increase.
