I've gone back and forth on this gas vs electric issue. I'm back to electric now that I know we are purchasing a home in Rio Grande (very central). A friend is buying a villa in St. James and just bought a Yamaha EFI at Carts and Clubs in Ocala. Now to my food for thought:
1. Depending on the village you live in, a gas station could be quite a distance off. To me that would mean keeping a 5-gal gas can in the garage. If you have or will buy a villa, keep in mind most have the washer/dryer in the garage. Not sure I would like gas fumes while in a hot garage doing the wash.
2. If your home is fairly centrally located (using 466 as central), the range on electric carts can get you a round of golf at Bonifay or Lopez and back with range to spare for cruising, squares, dinner and more.
3. If you live or plan to live on one extreme or the other (i.e. Orange Blossom, Chatham, Sanibel, Tamarind Grove) then gas would get my vote hands-down.
Again, these are opinions, just mine.
Finally, as far as which brand, seems the vote goes to Yamaha. The new EFI helps with better mpg and they quieten down a lot after reaching cruising speed. Basing this on sales pitch and test driving one.
Good luck with your decision!
