It really depends, if you are a full time resident and use your cart on a daily basis then fuel with ethanol is fine. If you are a part time resident, and your cart sits for long periods of time without being used, then it’s definitely worth it to use ethanol free gas. Over time ethanol separates from the gas and evaporates, leaving behind a gummy substance that clogs components in the fuel delivery system and can lead to expensive repairs. This problem can be minimized by consistently adding a good quality fuel stabilizer to ethanol gas. We are part time residents and never use fuel with ethanol in our carts. Our limited time in the Villages is so precious, I don’t want to wast any of that time dealing with golf cart problems.
