Anyone telling you different is blowing smoke, not facts. Also, all modern engines have hoses and components designed to withstand ethanol enhanced fuels. Save $$$ and do what the owners manual states.
So true

For some reason people want to spend(waste) money . They have been brain washed by Oil companies and supplement producers. Many mechanics, salesmen and next door neighbors have little or no actual knowledge of the chemical and mechanical effects of fuel. I have two carts, Yamaha EZGO,drive them to death over the past 5 years. Always fill with lowest octane I can find, never put anything else including stabilizer in the tank. For many people the placebo effect is working. Have never experience even one engine issue.

I don, think mine is an isolated case.
