My cart gets very close to 50mpg while my car gets more like 30mpg. Every mile that I choose to drive my cart rather than my car reduces the amount of CO2 I produce.
I really don't believe life is that simple. The only way this could be correct is if the golf cart used a catalytic converter and other pollution mitigation devices like your car has.
