If you use high octane gas vs 87, your low compression golf cart engine cannot burn all the fuel that blend introduces into the combustion chamber. The unburned fuel that you pay extra for goes out the exhaust, and you can smell it. I know a lot of folks have bought into the mythology that your car, mower, cart, etc will run better, cleaner, and produce more HP on premium fuel, but you should never use the high octane unless your engine was designed to use it. If your engine is not a Turbo or high horsepower, it does not need high test gas. Don't take my word for it, do some research..
