This is a never ending argument, gas or electric.

I read sometime ago that the average village user their cart for 13 miles per day. Whether that is true or not, is for each individual to decide.

I prefer electric because of the quite ride and not having to smell fumes. I usually hold my breath when entering tunnels, as most of the time, there is an exhaust type smell. I've also smell gas carts as they take off, when riding behind them.

My guess is the riders of gas carts don't smell their fumes but those of us behind them do. My nose is sensitive to the smell of smoke/fumes so I am an electric person. If a gas cart is excessively smelly, I will pull off the road and wait a couple of minutes so I can breath fresh air but that's me.

I believe there was an old thread that discussed whether gas or electric was less expensive to own. Don't remember that result.

It's a matter of preference whether gas or electric, fits someone's lifestyle better.
