This is a much bigger problem in places where items like lawnmowers and chainsaws are not used year round. Better to completely run your engine out of gas and drain your tank or add fuel stabilizer at least if storing things with an engine.
Every 2-3 months I don't drive my golf cart for 3-5 days in a row. I don't drive it on days when it's raining hard. Other than that, I use my golf cart as my primary form of transportation, and take my car as my secondary form of transportation.
