Putting that together makes for a 37 mile day, something a 50 mile cart could do (even on only 80% of it's range).

Yes, as the Villages gets larger it will be harder to drive from one end to the other. At the same time, someone who wants to travel that far may choose a 50 minute round trip in a car rather than a two hour trip in a golf cart.
