Not sure what your real problem is with gasoline carts. Many use their carts all over the Villages and need to be able to take their cart without worrying about how much of a charge is left. As for pollution, presenting figures with stats would be more helpful.
The Villages Golf Cart stores has set up gas stations for carts....hooray. They have gasoline that is formulated for gas cart engines. It's a bit more expensive, but it is better for my gas cart, is closer than a long ride to get petrol at one of the automobile stations and doesn't break my budget. A gas cart only holds a limited amount of fuel, but I can get about 200 miles per fill-up.
Yes, there are lots of cars....some of the drivers are residents, some are not. Remember, sometimes people need to get to places other than The Villages, might need to bring items too bulky for their cart from one place to another, and we do have storms with rain and lightning. Golf carts are not a safe place to shelter during electrical storms....AND, air conditioning in the car may be necessary for some.
Times change, things change, there is no stopping this. Sometimes we like the changes, sometimes we don't.
