You can fill your tank in minutes if you happen to be at a station when your fuel runs out otherwise you will need a tow.

I don't let the tank in my gas cart run low enough that I need to immediately find a station. Likewise, I never let the battery in my electric cart get low enough that it becomes an issue. I know my electric cart has a full charge when I leave in the morning. I'm pretty sure I topped off the gas cart within the last couple of weeks so it really ought to have enough fuel to last through today.

Yes, if both carts were to hit empty while away from home the gas cart would begin moving on its own power sooner than the electric cart would. As a practical matter, after steady, non-stop driving for six hours do drain the battery in my electric cart I would be ready for a break anyway.
