Based on my own experience with my Yamaha gas cart, I will respectfully disagree.

When the Marathon station opened in Pinellas Plaza, I switched to ethanol-free gas. I used it for about 4 fillups. I saw absolutely no increase in mileage. I "thought" the engine was "peppier," but after switching back, I can say it wasn't. Bottom line, I decided that ethanol-free gas is not worth the higher price in my golf cart.
