Regular out of the pumps? Sure you can pay a bit more at Sumpter Cart world, but since my 2003 Yamaha has been running for 13 years+ on unleaded with zero problems I don't think I'll change....

I have used regular gas with a stabalizer added for a long time. Seemed to work fine. I then tried a higher octane recreational gas and saw a huge difference in performance. My cart now runs smoother and quieter.

As per the owner's manual, unleaded with 10% or less ethanol.

If you Google this issue you will find that 87 octane is just fine. Any higher octane is just a waste of money. Non ethanol gas might be preferable. I have two carts which my family runs to death. EZGO 5yrs- Yamaha 6yrs. 87 octane only . Neither one has ever even hiccupped. Change oil, filter and spark once a year.

Sorry, but rather than use the owners manual, I prefer to rely on a self proclaimed internet expert.

Gas from the pump at Colony works fine in mine.

UNLEADED gas is the ONLY gas available and legal for over 25 years. The cart stores are selling NON-ETHANOL.

The vgs store in Brownwood has ethanol free gas, it costs more but is better for the fuel system. Ethanol causes problems with the rubber and attracts water.

I AGREE, AND YOU CAN GET IT AT MARATHON STATION NEAR YOU.
