Default Re: Purchasing a new golf cart

My reasons for gas:

Quieter ----- added a muffler extension which quiets it down
No fumes -------Muffler extension also moves fumes behind you
Easier, less expensive maintenance -----Havent done it yet, but was told total maintenance was less with gas when you add cost of batteries.
No need to mess with gasoline* $$$ -------No need to plug in cost per mile is very close
Charging is easy -----so is adding gas, been doing it for 50 years
Battery maintenance takes 10 minutes a month. -------Only add gas once a month so far
Annual tuneups cost less-----Total maintenance for gas is less. (add cost of battery replacement)
Range is not an issue - who wants to travel more than 40 to 60 miles per day in ANY golf cart - can you imagine going to Ocala and back in a golf cart - 40 miles round trip? Agree
Yes - $650 in battery replacement in 4 to 5 years - a wash compared to $3.50 gasoline
------Not a wash.*When you look at total cost, electricity for charger, cost of gas, difference in annual tune up, and batteries, TOTAL cost per mile in gas is the same or just a little less.* And I never worry about range
