My Quiet Tech gets very close to 50mpg. Yamaha says 45mpg. Let's split the difference and say 48mpg.

5.2gals at 48mpg gives a 249.6mi range. Just for fun, let's call it 250mi.

27.1mi one way is 54.2mi round trip. 250mi of range would give four full trips. Since your fuel would run out about five miles into the return trip on the fifth attempt, it is more likely you would head to the gas station rather than even trying that trip.

Now with my gas cart, assuming it will actually make a round trip (it should), I could keep going as long as I want. My average speed given all the stopping on the MMPs is 15mph. A 54.2mi trip would take nearly four hours which is as long as I would want to sit on the cart in one day anyway. I would get home, plug it in, make a margarita, and read the forums. Then tomorrow I would do the same thing (and the next day and the next and....). No trips to the gas station required.

So, you don’t pay electric bill either? Now when your batteries are gone the gas cart catches up. ( gone meaning dead).
