Fuel lines

I was wondering if fuel temperature would have any effect on MPGs...

Colder = Better

or

Warmer = Better

Anyone have any input on this?

I am toying around just for kicks with some different designs for the snake oil magnets and got to wondering about the fuel temperature thing.

I think I have some header wrap tape that I am considering insulating the fuel lines from the rail to the filter, wrapping the filter, then as far back as my roll of tape will take me. I was just wondering if anyone has knowledge that it would be a waste of time.

Things to remember... I live in Texas where hot is spring time and it progressively gets worse from there. Texas is the reason why I am hesitant to do some of the aero modding stuff to the car since it is an automatic... I am afraid it will burn the car up.
