DryGas is more Alcohol.

Not good for 2012 or older cars.

Not true. I have a 2007 Flex Fuel that adjust all the way up to E85.

So what should a person do (I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota) who uses E15 to prevent problems if they use it?

I suppose a better question would be why would you use it?

E15, E30, E50, E85 (which are only
some examples of fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol)."

Good job!

Now here's hoping that folks read both their owner's manuals AND the labels at the pump!

Read the manual?? Seriously?? Why? the auto makers have put signs on the gas caps of cars they dont want E15 being used in .... once again no need to waste time actually reading ones manual!

I myself am not immune from "can't read" syndrome:

I once put gas in our diesel truck 'cause the gas station had left the "green nozzle" on the pump after they switched it to gasoline...

If there's a wrong way to do something, believe you me: I've done it!
