I dunno, I'm always skeptical about that kind of stuff... especially with the claim of "Adds 200 + more miles per tank of fuel"... but yeah have him try it and see, you never know 'til you try

Do you know why most new cars have returnless fuel rails?
Or what exactly an EGR does?
It is important to keep temperatures in the cylinders as low as possible, and heating fuel before spraying it into the combustion chamber is absolutely retarded.
It will create an excessive amount of NOX in your exhaust, causing you to fail emissions most likely, and which, in OBDII cars especially, will cause driveability issues.
