A Sheetz recently opened up on my regular route. I can get E-15 for 2.45 a gallon so I filled up the tank with it. At that price I will be ahead even with a small drop in mpg. Is there any issue long term on a two year old vehicle using this as a steady diet? Are fuel injectors affected?
Is there a downside to using E-15 in a newer vehicle

Nope just more fuel used. I’ll be using their E15. They are opening a Sheetz near me soon.
no Sheetz in my area, but Casey's has E15 ( they call it "Unleaded 88")
used it quite a bit in my hybrid, noticed no appreciable MPG difference between E15, and the Normal E10 that every other pump in the dispenses.
the only time i noticed a difference from the Fuel, was when Casey's Sold E0 91 octane. with that I got about 5more MPG's than the E10, or E15...
and it wasn't the octane, I tried a Tank of E10 93, no different from any other E10.
honestly, i also don't notice much of a difference from E10, when i Run a tank of ~75% E10, and ~25% E85. ( mainly as a Fuel system Cleaner once or twice a year, even though I'm using Top Tier Fuel)

I believe that most new vehicles are now approved foe the use of e15.
I know that my buddy’s EQUINOX, my daughter’s CIVIC and my VENZA are all now approved in their owner’s manual.
