Default Gas Station Locations

You can use reg unleaded gas if you need to it won't hurt, both Marathon Gas stations
have the gas for the golf carts. If you have a gas can all the Wawa stations have it as well

Default Ethanol gas

Quite similar to changing oil every 3000 to 5000 miles. With the advent of modern synthetic oils it's 10000 to 15000 miles between oil changes.
You are spot on. I have been using regular unleaded 15% ethanol in my gas carts for 12 years with no problems and I go north for three or four months most summers. But to each his own…

Are you sure you have been using E15 fuel in Florida for 12 years? I believe E10 is common but I don't know that I've ever seen E15.

So I assumed they were out?

so other than there, and the Villages Golf Cart gas stations, where are other, cart-accessible locations to get non-ethanol gas?

Running a bit low now...

thanks in advance
This happened to me once. Then I realized I was picking up the wrong hose. You cannot press the button for non-ethanol gas when you pick up the wrong hose.

WAWA sells non ethanol gas. The pump is set up with a separate line for non ethanol (blue handle) and you have to first pick up the handle, then select non ethanol.

Have had 3 Yamahas and 1 EZGO carts over 10 years. Never used non ethanol. Never one problem due to regular gas(87). Average 42/43 MPG on 87 octane. Saved a lot of money. Read posting on this site.

Have you tried The Villages Golf Carts service station facilities? They have them at their Lake Sumter and Brownwood locations, maybe more. It’s safe to assume that a golf cart service station will be selling the correct kind of gas, don’t you think?

If you have a doctor's note you can get the medicinal fuel.

I have a 2007 yamaha, and have never used anything but regular gas, and leave it sit for 5 months each summer and have never had a problem. Use regular gas.
