Any ethanol degrades the efficiency of the engine, but ethanol added gas is usually used by most gas stations in order to offer the gas at a cheaper price. It degrades the burning quality of the gasoline.

I buy gas for the cart at any regular gas station that I am near when I decide to buy gas.

If convenient, I would prefer gas with no ethanol. Actually, I'd like to constantly run non-ethanol gas in my Cadillac. The "brain" in the car recognizes the quality of gas and adjusts engine settings accordingly. I would get a peppier engine and better gas mileage if my gas had no ethanol.

But, you can use any regular gasoline from any gas station.
