Might want to check accuracy of your odometer.
When I bought my Yamaha(2021) was told that range was 35-40 MPG. Have had it one year and do not have an odometer. Doubt I get anything close to 70 MPG and have heard others who claim that get 50 MPG.
Have driven my cart 90 hours(golfing and roads) and do not have an odometer. If my engine hour meter is correct and I averaged 15 miles per hour(cart not modified and top speed is +/- 20 mph) I probably drove it around 1350 miles and no more than 1800 miles. If I get 50 MPG I would have bought no more than 36 gallons and if I got 70 I would bought no more than 25 gallons. I fill it up twice a week and have owned it since 12/1/2020. I have probably gone thru 80 +/- gallons of gas.
As an aside when driving a car I my average MPG is higher than the posted EPA on my car and every car that I have owned except for a 76 Caddy which got 8 MPG.
In car your driving habits can increase/decrease mileage, but in a cart you do not have gears and do not or should have to come to sudden stops. Bet I get 70 MPG on
