Next to Bealls near Fresh Market.

When I played over 1100 rounds of golf last year(2020),I was filling my 2015 Yamaha
up usually twice a week. Never have checked my gas mileage. Just fill up and go.
:bigbow::bigbow:

Lead foot?

Yamaha Gas 2015 - 357cc - 42mpg

Motorcycle 2019 - 1820cc - 40mpg

Car 2020 - 2000cc - 32mpg


My guess is the Car is probably the most efficient of the 3. I don't usually think about gas mileage.

Must have been only executive courses. That’s an average of three per day, every day, 365 days. Wow! I can’t even imagine how many “points” you must have gotten. Obviously, all those rounds were as a single, with no permanent groups. I guess you must meet a LOT of people.

49.6 MPG for 3 year old Yamaha. I have a lead foot. Combination golf and going places every day.

None legally.

My math 1900 miles in 9 months is 211.11 miles a month at 53 mpg 3.98 gal per month.
There is no precise fill line on the tank. The circumference of your tires are not calibrated.
We use our cart regularly or the wife does. We use ABOUT four gallons a month.

It is not really designed for fuel economy. High wind resistance, single speed transmission and constant start, restart. A four seater adds weight in the body. Add in four people say 185 lbs average is another 740 lbs. You need power, burn gas, for every pound.

The number does not matter. What is of value is if it goes down by say 10% something is wrong.

Golf carts have CVT transmissions - not single speed - many possible gear ratios (not discrete) as the two clutches change diameters based on load and speed.

Do you use regular or premium gas in your golf cart?

Stabilizer?

Someone I know who is very familiar with boats and motors (a lifetime spent on the water) always said that regular gas in small engines was junk. Use the highest octane you and find.

Re: lead foot
Not sure it matters. Assuming your cart is set to the legal 20 mph, you/we are all driving with your foot to the floor boards. Some are wide open before the peddle is down to the floor but you are still running at top governed speed.

Golf-driving on the grass takes more energy-fuel-than driving on the road.

Read your owner's manual. In the case of Yamaha carts, fuel with no more than 10% ethanol is recommended. If the cart is going to sit for some period of time then a fuel stabilizer may be called for. Since the engines are low compression, I don't see the need for premium fuel. Curiously, Yamaha does not specify an octane requirement. Regular (87 octane) seems to be just fine.

They recommend unleaded gasoline with less than 10% ethanol. I have had a couple repair people suggest that the recreational gas is better because it stores better and does not contain ethanol. One guy suggested it doesn't smell as much. :shocked:

That’s excellent mileage. I just ordered a 2022 Yamaha. I’m anxious to check the mileage on it.

Re: recreational gas.
It is alcohol free. Alcohol which in this country comes from corn, is not only more expensive than gasoline, it has less potential energy.

Previous experience. I had an old outboard engine. Due to them adding alcohol to the fuel my engine was not built for the fuel. I had to rebuild the carburetor to take the new fuel.

Your car, depending on manufacturer, assuming it is not an antique, is designed for 10% alcohol. Some cars can take the higher alcohol blends, It is a good idea to research the car you own and to know.
