Routing the laster back to the combustion chamber would not be similar to the efect that nitrous oxide affects combustion. It would be more akin to a spark plug, actually causing the fuel to ignite.
Nitrous affects combustion by increasing the amount of oxygen in the combustion chamber. Since there is a higher percent of oxygen atoms in nitrous oxide than in air, more oxygen gets into the combustion chamber allowing more fuel will burn. Gasoline cannot burn without oxygen to feed the combustion, since a laser doesn't increase the amount of oxygen in the chamber, the effects would be minimal.
