When I bought our first cart (used, from The Villages Golf Cars), the sales guy said it had to be ethanol-free gas or it could take a year off the lifetime of the engine.
I didn't really think about that much, and paid the extra for the ethanol-free gas for a couple of months.
Then I realized - these engines can last 10 years or longer, and I was planning on replacing it before then. So who cares if it lasts a year less - it won't be mine then anyway.
So I switched to regular unleaded and I'm saving a small fortune, and my engine is fine.
