I am not “throwing” the gas in but have always used regular gas with no problems - have over 20k miles on the current cart!

Use any grade of gas it will not hurt it one bit. The only reason for using ethanol free is because gas tends to sit in a golf cart tank for a much longer time. If you fill up with regular gas just keep adding ethanol free when it gets down to half tank. There are additives that you can use if your cart will be sitting for a long period of time.

All modern engines are designed to run on E10. My Yamaha cart even has an E10 sticker on the gas tank. Ours sits for months at a time here, as does my Polaris side by side in Indiana, which by the way is much more complex than a cart. Never had a fuel related issue on either one.

As someone else mentioned, if it required non ethonal it would say that in the owners manual.

Everyone that knows there isn't "Golf Cart Gas"

That's pretty much all I use. The issue as far as I understand is that old ethanol gas will gum up the carburetor, and I use mine enough that it never gets old.

I have for 10 years

11 years living full time in The Villages, and have never once NOT used regular gas in our golf carts. No issues.[

Regular here, cart, mower, motorcycle, and car.

[rsmurano]

for the 1st year, all we used for gas was e10. For the last 2.5 years, we just use regular gas. It runs as good or better on regular. We also have put on 12,000 miles on our cart since new in 2021. None of the issues that people will tell you about if you use regular gas, clogged carburetor, dirty burning, won't run as good, on and on. When we buy a new cart, it will be regular gas from the beginning.

Been doing it for about twenty years. Inherited cart from Dad and other than regular maintenance it runs fine.

I have a Plowman's performance kit on my cart, and due to that he recommends boat gas aka 100% gas aka non-ethanol gas.

[Babufrick]

The additional money you spend on ethanol free gas over time will more than offset the cost of speculative damage to the cart

If I buy another cart I still would buy another gas cart. So has anybody throwing a Lithium battery in their cart, very expensive. Maybe I’m just old fashion but I just like gasoline carts just don’t like charging my cart up every night, not trying to argue with anybody about carts, just like gas carts.

How much? How frequently? Personal experience? ANY experience?

My guess is fewer than three people on this board know how much it would cost to replace the lithium battery in a golf cart because fewer than three people on this board have had to do it. (I want to say zero but there's always one)

An eight-year warranty implies a battery that will last ten years at a minimum. Not likely to be many ten year old lithium carts out there yet.
