I store my car with E85 for 6 months a year without any issue. I also do that on my STi, and did it on my SHO when I had it as well. If the system is sealed, then moisture won't be an issue. Since ethanol absorbs moisture, that's what you have to worry about. I just did a track day on about a half tank of my 7 month old E85. Still smells gud!
As far as E85 being worth it... As long as they make it, I wouldn't run anything else on a boosted car. Even if your power goals aren't crazy, E85 is safer and burns cooler. If it's available near you, there really is no reason not to run it.

I was stuck between the id13000 or id2000. after talking to ID and a few other venders i may just go with the id1300 due them being stainless since i dont daily my car they said the ID2000 could stick. This worries me so i think i will get the ID13000 and see if i can push them to 600whp. But for you power goals i would for sure go with the ID1300 being stainless for better protection from sticking.

Yes if let sit I was told they can stick. Id told me if I was going to let my car sit for more than a week to either take injectors out and spray them with wd40 and put them in a Ziploc bag or run 93 pump before I let them sit.
That's to much of a headache that's what's making me lean towards 1300 vs 2000. The id1000 can stick too. I guess some people have issues some don't. I'm open to more feedback also.

If you have E85 in your area, then you should take advantage of it. I wish that I went E85 sooner. It doesn't take much effort to drain your tank. I haven't had any issues with my ID2000s after letting my car sit for 10 days once with a full tank of E85 in it. Any longer and I would have drained it and put some piss gas in.
