I do not know where the limit of the percentage of ethanol in petrol is. 
I have used E15 on and off for a long time (>20years) in my cars, 
including my Jensen-Healey without any problems. Theoretically power 
should be down a bit but I never encountered separation, even when the 
car has not been used for more than 6 months, no corrosion in the fuel 
tank, fuel pump or carburettors, no problems with fuel hoses (which I 
replace every 10 years or so anyway and have done so on any car since 
the 1960's).
