Gasoline
 

Greetings-
For a new 2020 Yamaha, do you recommend ethanol-free (100% gas) or regular gas?
Appreciate all your comments.

IMO If EFI won’t make difference. Ethanol-free gas costs lot more IMO not worth it. I would be more concern about oil change schedule. that’s what going to insure the engine will last.

Check your owner's manual. It probably says that fuels containing more than 10% ethanol are not recommended. Since regular gas (E10) has 10% ethanol it is fine. Essentially they are saying not to use E15 (15% ethanol) and E85 (85% ethanol) fuels.

Our Yamaha there is a sticker on the gas tank, "E10", which is the regular gas as gas stations, and grade 97 is also fine, these are not high compression engines.

Pick one and stick to that type of gas. My opinion is regular is just fine.

If your cart is going to be parked for a long period of time , ie snowbirds,
Non-ethanol fuel is better, aka recreation fuel, Rec fuel

I've had my 2008 yamaha since 2011. Always used regular gas, and always used Stabil. Every fill-up. Never had an issue of any kind.

Use regular if your cart will not sit for a month or so. Use ethanol free if it is going to sit. Buy your ethanol free gas somewhere other than Villages Carts unless you want to pay too much.

had a ez go for 12 years...used reg gas for about 7,then found out about other...it seemed to run better on the other,,but had no affect on engine...sold it

We own a 2011 Yamaha and have run premium with no alcohol since we bought it. Runs well and does not smell as much as many we have encountered.

We use Eth Free gas in ours. WaWa pumps 1 & 2 have it, Cheaper than The Villages.

I have a 2014 Yamaha that drinks gas from Wall Mart. No Problems.

it's not a lot more. 10% maybe. my experience with small engines is they run smoother and seem stronger. google ethanol. related problems in small and marine engines

I just picked up my new golf cart from Villages Golf Cart in Brownwood. They told me that although ethanol free gas is preferred, regular unleaded if in a bind or every once and a while will not hurt my 2021 Yamaha.

Cheapest, and nearest supply.
Your talking about lawn mower engines, not Ferraris!
