You will also need a new banjo line going to the fuel rail into the injectors, and the o ring on the end of the injector won’t be long for this world, but that should be it. The rest of the path out of the engine is steel and aluminum.
Dude you could run those things off dirty vegetable oil and they’d still go. The only things more indestructible than a '90s Civic is a Corolla from any year.
Did the US get diesel Civics? That would be surprising to me. Petrol engines don’t really run off veggie oil AFAIK. But really, the main thing E15 is going to cause is fuel leaks, which aren’t impossible to fix by any means.

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree because those things barely exist anymore on the roads here where they salt the roads. The tech is strong, the chassis is not. I don’t know when the Japanese figured out galvanization, but as of the mid 00s, they still had issues (not just a single make or model either. Mazda was the worst, but Toyota and Honda still rust). I haven’t really inspected any newer Japanese cars. I think Toyota did something better with Lexus branded vehicles, as those tend to have less rust… Or perhaps the owners just took better care of the more expensive vehicles.
Most vehicles made past about 2004 are all ethanol safe up to maybe E20. You ideally shouldn’t, but e15 won’t ruin them.
Anything older though… God have mercy on your soul.
Those '90s civics still puttering around finally gonna get put in the grave.
They’d probably just go through a fuel pump and a fresh filter and then be fine lol.

Or a Hilux. Or a 90s Nokia.
