Default LRP 36% Energy Nitro Fuel

I went to my LHS today, and I found out that they had some 36% nitro in stock. Could I safely use this in my Savage? What performance gains could I expect, and what are the disadvantages?

Not to mention higher temps and difficulty tuning (for some). Personally, I wouldn't go more than 30% but then again I'm running 20% now.

You really shouldn't switch back and forth in nitro content, or even fuel brand for that matter. Nothing will shorten engine life more, except just chunking dirt down the carb.

I'd like to try it, but 36% is getting up there in nitro content. It might be like the super oily 33% Traxxas crap though... happen to notice the oil percentage?
