Lightbulb Fuel heater?

We all know that warm fuel vaporizes better than cold fuel, so I had an idea. I want to make a fuel heater for my Civic that uses coolant to heat the fuel. My Civic has a returnless fuel system, so a fuel heater won't heat the fuel in the tank. I think a fuel heater could possibly improve gas mileage by improving fuel vaporization, especially in cold weather, but I'm not sure. I don't really think that building a fuel heater would improve anything, since all the car companies would probably be doing it if it would, and I probably am not the first to think of this. Can't hurt to ask though, right? What do you think about me making a fuel heater?
