Heated Fuel

Does anyone have any real information about a possible fuel economy increase from using heated fuel?

I have heard of some comments here and there, but no solid information on it.

Then of course, the next question is how to properly (and safely) heat your fuel. I am imagining something similar to an engine block heater.

There IS lots of information out there about heating vegetable oil and biodiesel fuel, but I am talking about plain ole gasoline.

Any insight into this?

Thanks,

-Ben N.
