Course, now that SCs are getting on in age, there is some concern of Ethanol being used in these older motors causing rubber parts to fail quicker. Also, depending on condition, other components will need attention (suspension, transmission etc, and well, they aren't cheap either).
The manual for my 82SC specifically says E10 gas is fine, but no higher than 10% ethanol. That's true for most cars today. E15 will require some design changes in new cars--by 2015, if they go that route. I doubt they will unless they go to cellulose-based ethanol. Hybrids are inevitable.
