Strongly recommend Electric. Much quieter, and no nasty fumes to fowl the lungs of those behind you and in the tunnels. Today's electric carts with 8-battery configuration will take most of you further than you'll ever want to go in one day. Yes, batteries are expensive, but with proper maintenance, including use of a battery-minder, they will last for many years. As to what brand to get, I have a theory that the companies that make electric exclusively do electric better because electric is all they do. We have a Star for over 3 years now, and very happy with service from the cart, and the dealer. Star is currently (or at least were very recently) offering a 5-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and cost a couple of thousand $ less to buy than most of the other brands. And they are made in the USA - Greenville, SC to be exact. I do also read good things about the new EZ Go electrics, but they are more expensive to buy.
