E-85 storage observations

Just wanted to share. Had to store about 15 gallons of E-85 for about 2 months in red 5- gallon plastic gas jugs in the garage (SoCal) at between 60-70 degrees ambient temp. Tested some samples before running the E-85 and no appreciable loss of octane, change of %ethanol content or H20 saturation. Ran just as smoothly as freshly pumped.
