Well a cooler fuel will help with a more complete burn. But what are you even talking about? Are you talking about that cryo2 thing that cools off the fuel rail? A little more info would be helpful

It may be very worth it. I would like to know a bit more detail about some of the parameters monitored by the ECU but many cars will actually pull timing if the fuel is hot. As such a fuel cooler may be a very valuable addition.

Drag cars use to run cool cans, don't know if they still do or not. Basically it is a can where you coil the fuel line around in the inside of a can then fill the can with ice.

Proven fact: Motors run better on cooler fuel. F1 has a test for it, and a car was initially found in violation at the end of the last race, because the fuel on board was found to be a lower temp than what was acceptable. You'll also see at the begging of Superbike races, some bike with reflective heat blankets over their tanks on the starting grid. I think that's kinda what water/meth does, is cool the charge.
