Toyota Camry 1998: Is E10 or 95-octane better?

Everything I have read suggests that it would be fine to use E10 fuel in my 1998 Toyota Camry Vienta, but my mechanic said I should change to 95-octane when regular unleaded was no longer available as he was experiencing many problems in different types of vehicles both new and older. What are your thoughts?

The FCAI guide to E10 compatibility indicates you can use E10 in your car and BP also says you could use E10 without a problem. But there is too little real world experience available yet to say for sure that it will be fine. At least for the short term your mechanic's advice to use Premium unleaded would seem to be prudent until we know more.
