it is approx 16 miles from rt42 to rt 44 on Buena Vista
the average electric golf cart can make that round trip once.
the 'new' 60 mile range carts can make that trip maybe 1.5 times since I've yet to hear of anyone getting much more than 45 miles a charge.
So, with a standard electric cart you can get around pretty good but not drive around all day and must always keep your range in mind (we have all seen the carts being towed in because the batteries died).
In a gas cart you do not need to think about range as long as you have a full tank you can drive for days. I have electric now, when I replace it I will get gas!
