Default Gas or electric cart -- different question!

I know there have different threads on the topic of Gas vs. Electric golf cart (pros and cons), but I don't remember answers to these questions:

1) What would it cost in cart gasoline for a typical month (whatever typical is!)?

2) What would it cost in electricity to charge a cart over a month's time of typical usage?

3) How often would you need a new set of batteries (I have heard approx. every 3 yrs. at a cost of $800, but I don't know the accuracy of that statement)?

Please...please...don't get hung up on the word 'typical.' Please give it your best shot, without saying 'it all depends.' Also, don't need comments on smell or noise of gas cart; that has been covered in other threads.

Just the 'operating cost' difference. Thanks!
