Good thing there aren’t any hills in the Villages. Traveling throughout the entire Villages in our quiet tech with high speed gears, I have only once noticed a decline in power relative to our 2014 EFI. That would be going over the golf cart bridge crossing 441. A small price to pay for a quiet ride, close to 300 miles per 5 gallon fill up, great handling rack and pinion steering, and bump absorbing four wheel independent suspension. Running a cart at high RPM’s without high speed gears for thousands of miles can’t be a good thing for the engine in the long run.
