So here are the 4 year facts:
Gas: $960
Tune ups $72
Oil changes $48
So for this average golf cart user I have paid $1,080 in the last 4 years NOT $2,500.
And the biggest hole in your argument it cost "ON AVERAGE" $1.50 a day to CHARGE the batteries thats $2,190 for four years plus your batteries $800.
$1,080 Gas vs $2,990 ele

Both sides put false info out,Do a search and you an find studies done by golf courses that use both.They say costs are about the same for both.I would trust them because they have large fleets that would give them better data then anyone here has.For some reason village cart likes to push gas and don't know why.Then you have another shop that will not sell any gas carts ,I'm sure they both have a reason.
