I live in Florida and also thought this would be a good idea. I did the same
thing and found that my car takes a lot longer to warm up, that is longer with
the choke on, and during the winter (50 degrees or below) there is a
significant negative to this idea. I agree that warming the gasoline going
into the engine doesn't sound like a good idea, especially after the car
reaches operating temperature, but unless you're trying to wring every bit of
HP out of the engine I would recommend against doing this.
