E-10 is basically mandated by the EPA oxygenation standards for fuel.

The current engines are made with it in mind, however, higher percentages of ethanol are going to wreak havoc with small engines. They already had to recall a few million trimmer gas caps because the seals in them were eaten by E-10. Look for more fun as we move to higher % of scamahol in future blends.
