Here is what you need to remember: Ethanol Gas - Bad, Non-Ethanol Gas - Good. However, there is always more. If you buy non-ethanol gas at any regular gas station where it is not dispensed from a stand alone pump, but from one of those pumps where you select you fuel type, because there is always gasoline remaining in the pipes to the pump and the pump hose, the first half gallon or so pumped into your cart will be whatever grade of fuel the last person bought at that pump, which will almost surely be Ethanol gas. The benefit of getting your gas at the Villages Golf Cart store is that you will get 100% non-Ethanol fuel. The downside of buying at the Villages Golf Cart store is that the cost per gallon is substantially higher.
