Fuel Temperature

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum but I love it. Please excuse any naivety as I am quickly learning. Although I believe there are innumerable variables that affect cold weather MPG's, I can't help but wonder about the actual fuel temperature. Maybe this has been explored before but it has got to have some affect when temperatures where I live range from -25F in the winter to almost 100F in the summer. Any thoughts on reduced atomization, higher viscosity, etc…? Although it doesn’t seem very safe, I would love to experiment with fuel heating.
