OK that maybe true with pure gas and diesel, BUT I have read that to fully vaporize ALL the junk in our fuel we need the 600F plus...other wise you end up with gunk plugging any vapor system.
With airplanes I was aware carb heat is like the wing warmers/deicing, only needed and use in bad weather...
