Premium unleaded is still E5 if you're really concerned. The cost on the SV where you're probably filling up 13-15 litres, is probably an extra £1.30 a time? So in reality for every 12 tanks of fuel you've 'spent' an extra tank.

AFAIK using the fuel is fine in *most* machines. The real difference/potential for it to cause issues is if you're storing a vehicle with E10 in the tank for a while as the ethanol will separate out and attract moisture.
