Does anyone know how good or bad gas powered golf carts are as it relates to pollutants that they emit? I assume these gas engines do not contain any pollution controls on them like we have in our autos. I had heard or read somewhere, unconfirmed, that they emit more pollutants than an auto.

Anybody know the facts???

We had an electric cart here in Ohio. I had forgotten how bad the fumes are in a gas cart. I think that it has to be worse than a car because the lack of diffusive devices. I wasn't thrilled to be smelling all of those carcinogens, nor to have anyone else breathe them either. I guess the only good green form of transportation are our own two feet. :'(
