Unleaded 87 octane with up to 10% ethanol has worked well in my cart for the 5+ years I've owned it.
It has set three or four months without use a few times with no problems.
The same fuel has set in the tank for over six months with no problems. I filled the tank and used a little, let it set for three months then used a little, and repeated that a couple of times before I had used enough to fill it up again.
I have never experienced problems due to ethanol in the fuel in any vehicle I have owned.
I have had problems with carbureted engines when they have set for over a year without any use but after sitting that long the problem wasn't due to the type of fuel.
