We just moved and bought a 2017 Yamaha EFI QuieTech from Carts and Clubs. We also rented an older Club Car when we had guests. There is no comparison on noise. The Yamaha seems silent compared to the Club Car. That said, even the Yamaha is too noisy to hear the turn-by-turn nav instructions on the Villages GPS app. With the Club Car, you didn't know the phone was talking. With the Yamaha, you could often tell that there was a voice, but couldn't make out any words. Maybe an electric is so quiet, it would work - don't know, never drove one. Regarding distance, we have used up a full tank from when we got the cart in mid October through today. My sister-in-law had an electric and traded it in on a Yamaha QuieTech after getting stranded trying to get home from golf too many times.
