Well, if the guy is thinning his WVO with #2 diesel fuel and getting decent results, he can thin it with somewhat less #1 diesel (aka K-1 or neat kerosene) fuel and get the same performance in cold weather. I wouldn't recommend mixing it with gasoline, due to the drastic change in properties of the mixture.

Then again, since he's 82 years old, he might not be chopping wood much longer. Unless he has a Samaritan supplying free labor or chopped wood, all it takes is a minor injury at that age to end his wood-cutting days forever. In my opinion, this is MUCH more important than other factors. In this light, a labor-free heat source is much more valuable.
