You will get no consensus to that question. It used to be that range was a factor in favor of gas, but electrics have improved range. Odor, raw gas and/or exhaust was a negative for gas carts, but, IMO, newer gas carts are better with exhaust odor, and the increased number of gas stations has made gasoline storage in the garage less necessary. To me, gas carts do not emit raw gas odors when sitting.

Having owned both, I can see advantages to both. My electric was much quieter to ride in. My gas cart is always available to me since it doesn't need to sit on the charger for hours. Realistically, either will serve your needs. Just depends on what characteristics are important to you and which are not.
