Would appreciate some help in finding a gas station nearest Lynnhaven that has non ethanol gas that is golf cart accessible. Thank you in advance.

The Villages golf carts has ethanol free gas pumps for golf carts only in both LSL and SS.

IMHO, you are wasting your money on non-ethanol gas, our Yamaha specifically states E10 gas is fine and we have not had any problems with 87 octane E10 gas. Non-ethanol gas is great for older gas powered equipment that may have components not compatible with ethanol blended gasolines, but most equipment for the last 15 years or more has been designed and built for the E10 gas.

They are doing part time residents a favor. E10 gas is perfectly fine for carts that are used on a regular basis, but causes problems for carts that sit for extended periods unused, especially in the humidity of Florida. Ethanol absorbs water and then evaporates leaving a gummy varnish type deposit inside an engines fuel delivery system causing potential performance issues. Newer engines have seals/gaskets designed to withstand the damage ethanol causes, but no technology completely protects against the gummy deposits ethanol fuel can leave behind. A quality fuel stabilizer helps reduce the risk of using gas with ethanol, but nothing works better than ethanol free gas. Fuel injectors on newer engines is effected less by ethanol than engines with carburetors, but it can still do damage. I have cleaned out many carburetors clogged up with ethanol related deposits and can attest it is a real problem. The extra cost of ethanol free gas is chump change compared to the cost and hassle of hiring a good mechanic to fix ethanol induced issues. Many people have never had a problem using gas with ethanol, until the day they do.
