I would imagine if you are storing gasoline in a garage other than in your car or golf cart, it may be a concern. Other than that, the fire risk for owning a gas golf cart is miniscule compared to battery operated carts.
If one is considering a new golf cart, please google "talkofthevillages golf cart fire" and take a look at what you find. There have been a good number of battery driven cart fires in The Villages and these have not been smoldering little fires that were easy to extinguish. Homes were lost and more importantly, if one's garage is in the front of the home like a patio villa, escape from the home may be difficult other than through a window.
Many will have a tolerance for this higher fire risk, others won't. They need to know that risk is there to make their decision when selecting a cart. Bill N'Brillo had great advice; read all the info, test drive and decide.
