Gas Station in Lake Sumter Landing ???
 

Something is going up next to Barnes and Noble in Lake Sumter Landing and I was told it was a gas station for golf carts only...rumor ??? old news ??? anyone know anything about it ??? Thanks

True! Will be great for those of us with gas carts.

I hope they sell non-ethanol gas.

I believe I read something about a garage and gas dedicated strictly for golf carts going in at LSL. Who knows, I may have dreamt it.

You are not dreaming. When we bought our cart in March our sales person verified the information.

This was announced at the developer meeting with Mark Morse a few weeks ago. This is the first golf cart only gas station anywhere and it will have drive in bays for golf cart repair.

Now that's great news.

I was told by my sales rep at Villages Golf Carts to use 93 gasoline and add marine Sta-Bil to each tankful. He was concerned about the ethanol issue. Not sure about the 93 gas, but the Sta-Bil is supposed to clean the deposits from the uneven combustion caused by burning ethanol.

There is also a non ethanol station being built in Pinellas Plaza. I think it is owned by a Villager.

The guy that sold us our golf cart from The Villages golf cart confirmed that the gas sold there will be "Ethanol Free"! That will be awesome.

Most important though, will it sell beer? Sorry, I'm a one-stop shopper.

Have two carts - 2010 Yamaha and 2011 EZGO

Use lowest octane available and no additives ever.

Gas, carborated , high mileage on both

Have never used higher octanes in modern cars and never used additives

No engine problems in the last 30-40 years

Don't see the point in spending money for nothing. Have I missed something?

Sounds good to me. Get a tune up and sample some good cold draft.

Gas
 

Great news.Now I need to figure out how to put a 20 gallon tank on the golf cart so I can fill up at the new gas station and go home and fill up the car(just joking).A few years ago I traveled out west towing a 5,000 pound travel trailer with my pickup truck.When I filled up with 100% gas I got better milage and had more power.Funny thing,I will pull into a station and the only thing you could see for miles were corn fields but they sold 100% gas.Makes you wonder why we only have ethanol gas on the east coast.

Electric cart
 

I would like to see a "pay" for use Charging station there also.

Challenger you are absolutely correct about using the lowest octane gas available in a golf cart. Using premium fuel in a cart is a waste of money despite what some sales reps might tell you. I do use marine Stabil in my carts and up north in my mower and snowblower. It's supposed to help minimize damage caused by ethanol. When the 100% gasoline becomes available Stabil will no longer be necessary.

i am sure it will be way way over priced!

Not bad....17 posts before somebody came up with something negative.

We also bought a cart from The Villages Golf Carts and were told by the salesman that a new golf cart repair shop was going to be built near Barnes and Nobel to be used by them for the convenience of their customers. It would eliminate the expense of having your cart picked up by them and then returned to you when having work done by them. We think that's great

For some reason, I do not know, gas with no ethanol is more expensive the gas with. It doesn't make sense. Ohh wait, the government is involved.

I don't think it's a negative..I think it's most likely the truth. This operation will be a convenience and for the most part consumers pay for convenience. Most items for sale in TV can be purchased at a lower price if you venture off to Leesburg or Ocala. I'm sure the service will be welcome and probably popular but just like buying gas directly off an interstate highway interchange you're most likely going to pay top dollar.

I judge it as ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ornery

:spoken:

Hope the prices are reasonable.

Two reasons that I can think of:
1. Lower volume of sales
2. Higher value equals higher prices. The higher value is derived from the fact the the pure gas is better for marine use, motorcycles, small motors and older cars.

So, actually you are pointing out that it is NOT OVERPRICED since it is priced in accordance with its value as ascribed to by the convenience factor.
