Did you read my entire post? You left out the part where I said that there is more maintenance involved in gas carts than electric. There are more moving parts and more things that go wrong with them. That is one of the primary reasons that they are so popular with golf courses. Golf course owners are well aware of the cost of maintenance. All those cart boys and bag room attendants have to be paid.

Again, if you plan on trading your gas cart in for a new one every three or four years, this is not an issue. But if you buy an older cart or plan on keeping your cart for a long time, the maintenance on a gas cart will be higher.
