...with carburetors, a higher operating temperature helps ensure better fuel vaporization which leads to better fuel economy.

...but with todays' fuel-injection systems, this "vaporization" benefit is basically negated and overshadowed by injector pressure, which is now the major (but not the "only") factor.
