If you want the flexibility to travel anywhere in the expanding Villages community, it is currently safer to select a gas engine cart for now. The lithium carts are getting better but you will be stuck if the battery runs out while you are traveling long distance to the new areas of the Villages! My gas golf cart goes 300 miles on a tank and I only fill it once a month..
300 Miles on a tank = 60 miles a gallon. Dealer told me to expect around 35-40 MPG and that is what I get. Unlike a car, driving habits will not change the MPG as cart only has centrifugal clutch.
