I have not seen the sheet for a few years so I am sure it has changed by a couple $$. It was gas about $36 a month and electric about $41 a month.
That store is about the most bias against elect carts around here, so take what ever they say or print with a big grain of salt.

There are pro's and con's to each type of cart, but electric is slightly more expensive.
I'm not sure of that, but I don't agree that gas is less.

Now the next question is which is more environmentally friendly?
