When in doubt, consult the owner's manual. If it is a Yamaha, the owner's manual essentially states that 10% ethanol, or less, is OK. The knowledge of the sales guys can vary. One told be the Yamaha golf carts have a 2 cylinder engines (they don't).

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.
