Default LOP, Worth it?

Most people are trained to fly with the mixture set Rich Of Peak, but lately with fuel prices out of control there has been a lot of hype building about flying the airplane Lean of Peak. The advantage is your flying with much more efficient fuel burn, but your also running your engine hotter which could be damaging.

I learned about it in an engine class at the beginning of summer and towards the end of summer there was an article in AOPA that basically said it was the greatest thing ever, which made me interested.

Has anyone here ever experimented with it, or have any thing worth adding to what I've already said?
