I am not sure what golf cart you own but a contemporary Yamaha is fine with regular fuel (with 10% ethanol), as per the owners manual. The higher octane of the "ethanol free recreation fuel" is not needed and the 10% ethanol of regular fuel is fine, as per the owners manual. You will get about 3% better gas mileage with "ethanol free recreation fuel" but will pay about $1/gallon more, albeit these things are pretty inexpensive to run regardless. Use whatever you feel like but realize it won't make much difference. My 2014 Yamaha has only used regular fuel, has 9k miles, runs great, and gets 50+ MPG. If your cart will be stored for some period of time, add fuel stabilizer.
