I agree with the above post if you are a full time Villages resident and use your cart on a daily basis. However, if you are a part time resident and your cart often sits unused for extended periods of time, ethanol can cause big troubles with your fuel delivery system. A good quality fuel stabilizer can reduce the problems caused by ethanol, but is no substitute for using ethanol free gas. Ask any small engine mechanic what is by far their largest source of business and they will tell you it is fixing problems caused by gas containing ethanol. I will never understand the logic of having gas that contains corn (ethanol) when there are so many people starving in this world?
