I'm going to the track this weekend to see what I run in the quater. I'll be sure to get a video of it for you guys. Wish me luck in breaking into the 12's on full weight(that means my heavy as hell 275lb system in the trunk lol). Im probably going to have a full tank of E85 in as well since the track is a bit of a drive from my house and I don't want to run out with no E85 filling stations around lol.

I filled up today. The price for premium at that same gas station was $4.09! Here's the reciept for my E85 fillup. I forgot to get a picture of my car at the pump, but once again I had several people give me the WTF look(BMW and Infiniti driver) and one guy with a FlexFuel silverado actually asked me when did Lexus start making cars that can take E85 lol!

Bringing this back from the dead... I apologize.

I have driven my Prelude for years with E85. Had to install a FPR to increase pressure, but it ran just fine.

Yesterday I filled the GS' tank with 2/3s of E85. The car runs just fine. I think the 300 can run at 100% E85 from stock.

I'm not too worried for the rubber hoses, my Prelude never had a problem and was even older than the GS. We'll see how it goes.
