Read your owner's manual. In the case of Yamaha carts, fuel with no more than 10% ethanol is recommended. If the cart is going to sit for some period of time then a fuel stabilizer may be called for. Since the engines are low compression, I don't see the need for premium fuel. Curiously, Yamaha does not specify an octane requirement. Regular (87 octane) seems to be just fine.

Stabilizer?

Someone I know who is very familiar with boats and motors (a lifetime spent on the water) always said that regular gas in small engines was junk. Use the highest octane you and find.
