Shimpy - I believe there are pluses and minuses to both, but consider this...
If you buy an electric, you will have the cost of electricity - to us this seems to be an undetectable blip - plus about $200 per year, escrowed toward a battery replacement (less if you consider the time value of $$).
With gas, you have the cost of the gas itself... usually premium to cut down on the smell... Not sure about mpg, etc. - but it isn't free....
For us - with my allergies/asthma - gas was not an option...
