Regular unleaded? Only thing I use.
(remember when "regular gas" was not ambiguous?)

As per the owner's manual, regular gas with up to 10% ethanol. 2000 hours on the engine and no issues. You will be fine.

When I filled up my cart just before Milton there was no regular octane, so I filled up with premium. Otherwise my lawnmower engine runs just fine on regular 10% corn gas. I’ve been averaging 49 to 52 MPG we see what tank full premium does?

I run non-ethanol in my lawnmower and pressure washer since they have carburetors and the gas can sometimes sit for a bit. The golf cart has fuel injection and we run through gas pretty quick. Probably overkill for the lawnmower and pressure washer but no issues to date.

By regular gas I assume you mean 10% ethanol. If you’re full time and use your cart on a regular basis that shouldn’t be a problem. The problem occurs when a cart sits for an extended period unused. The gas in the fuel delivery system eventually evaporates and with ethanol fuel it leaves behind a gummy varnish like deposit that can clog up the fuel delivery system. Problems are much more common with a carburetor, but a fuel injection system can also get effected. Carburetors have very small jets (which are basically holes) that easily get clogged up. I’ve disassembled and cleaned out several gummed up carburetors over the years and hope to never have to do it again.

I pump it into mine ! I've never "thrown" gas in my life unless violently passing it counts as throwing it.

The gas tank on my 2018 Yamaha (purchased new) has an E10 sticker, so I use regular gas and have had no problems.

We have a 2015 and 2021 Yamaha gas carts and use Regular with 10% Ethanol same as the car.

Regular E10 gas is all we have ever used in both of our carts, with no problems. Plus, that is what Yamaha calls for in the owner's manual.
