I've seen e10 warnings on gas pumps here in NJ since the about 2003, when some stations started blending it in to avoid using MTBE.
Most cars built from even back into the 1990's are fine with E10 and will be fine with E15.
Small engines don't have trouble running even E85, What they have problems with is storing the gas. E10 will go off in just a few days in a gas can, never mind a lawn mower carb bowl.
Storage is the only issue I have ever had with E10 and I expect zero issues with E15.
Now I can't speak for E85, because there is none in this area. Buying a Flex-fuel vehicle in this state is a joke, cause its not going to see more than E15 around here.
