Premium fuel is simply gasoline with additives which increase the octane rating of the fuel in order to reduce pinging, or pre-ignition on higher compression engines.
Save your money and use regular gas in the cart. It'll be just as happy and your wallet will be a little fatter.
Also, most people think "premium" is better and has more power or energy. It is actully the same as far as energy or power is concerned. The only difference between "regular" and "premium" is "premium" has additives to make it slower burning. I've heard of many engines that actually didn't perform as well with "premium". Like bluedog said, save your money.
