If you mean the10% ethanol fuel this is old news. All cars made since 2011 can use it, the higher octane fuels will not change from the current 5%

E5 and E10 contain UP TO 5% and 10% Ethanol. The actual level can vary from delivery to delivery and in reality depends on the relative costs of bioethanol vs refined petrol. It can be even zero, certain brands like Esso currently claiming their super unleaded petrol has zero ethanol despite it being labelled E5.

Ethanol is hygroscopic, petrol is hydrophobic, leading to potential problems with water content.

This topic has been covered quite a bit in other threads, just to avoid going over it needlessly yet again. MSN news articles are often way out of date, as they are recycled from MSM outlets.
