On the few occasions I use 7-11 gas at colony, the cart will back fire coming to a stop. No idea why, but it’s annoying. Now 7-11 is no longer on my list.

I have been using regular in my 2016 Yamaha for 6 years now. No problems yet.

Are there any other pumps around that have ethanol-free gas?

7 Eleven in Colony.

Golf carts are sold all over the country /world. They are designed to use gas with ethanol.

I have a carbureted Yamaha that I run with regular gas when I am in TV. The last tank before I leave for 3-4 months I fill up with ethanol free gas and my neighbor drives my cart around the neighborhood at least once a month. My engine consistently runs smoothly and quietly.

I filled it up at the Sumter Landing ethanol-free pump at the cart shop on my way to Tierra del Sol. It was up and running. I think it must have been during the power outage that I had tried before.

As far as the debate about E-10 vs. ethanol, I don't really care either way. Due to where I live, and where I typically travel in my cart, this is by far the most convenient place for me to fill up. I go through about 35 gallons of gas per season while in TV. I snowbird north for 5 months, and the cart is not typically run during that time.
Whatever the difference is between the cost of ethanol-free at LSL and E-10 at a regular station, it isn't worth it to me to worry about it.

In the summer, I treat my boats the same way.

I do have to chuckle though at the way these posts work. It is inevitable. OP asks where to buy "X", and a debate develops on whether OP should buy "X",
But I appreciate the help.

Since this is becoming a poll, I use rec gas. Figure the extra cost is like insurance.
