It's "premium" grade gas without the corn off the cob (methanol) and little or no water content highly recommended for use in equipment like lawn mowers and power lawn tools, pressure washers etc. Just bought a new Honda pressure washer and it says in manual that methanol free gasoline is highly recommended. The guy who serviced our lawn mower says regular gasoline with methanol will often have some water content which can rust out parts in the mower engine (which is similar to a golf cart). While I have an electric golf cart the salesman who sells both told me that REC gas is best for a GC. IIRC the Villages Golf Cart locations sell REC gas.
