Another issue is the expense of driving your car there versus the cost of driving your golf cart. I have an electric cart and the cost per mile is very low. My car gets about 20 mpg. The cost of driving my wife to work and going to Lowes, WalMart and the other 30 or so businesses over there just went way up.
