Using regular unleaded with no more than 10% ethanol in your cart will have NO impact on the warranty.

If anyone would care to look in the MFG OWNER MANUAL, they specifically recommend REGULAR unleaded fuel with NO MORE than 10% ethanol.

You will find NOWHERE in your manual where non ethanol fuel is specifically recommended. In fact , nothing is said AT ALL about ethanol free fuel .

I’ve owned 3 Yamaha gas carts, my first being a carbureted 2003, second was a carbureted 2010 and my current is a fuel injected 2019 Quie-Tec (Currently, I have 8,073 miles on it).

ALL owner manuals have had the same recommendation as listed above . I’ve run all of my carts following the MFG’s recommendation.

So, it is pure BS that following the MFG’s recommendation is going to “ruin” or “damage” your engine !

All that being said ….. there is NOTHING WRONG with using non-ethanol fuel in your golf cart. However , you’re paying more for it than 10 % ethanol when it’s not necessary….other than somehow making you feel better ! Your engine won’t know the difference.
Hit it on the head regarding Villages Golf Cart. Do have to admit it, but to some people especially people near Lake Sumter, they are more convenient than regular gas stations.
