You need to decide what's most important to you. Personally, I don't like the noise or smell of a gas cart, so I prefer electric. Of course, the smell doesn't really impact the driver; it's the cart following you that gets to "enjoy" it. I have two electric Club Car carts, and have to be diligent about maintaining the batteries and keeping them charged. If you don't think you will be meticulous about maintaining the batteries, you should get a gas cart. And if you want electric, you need to understand that the range will not be as good as a gas cart. But I can drive from Spanish Springs all the way down to Bonafay, play 18 holes of golf, and return home with more than 50% remaining on my batteries. That's as far as I ever want to travel on any golf cart, gas or electric. I will have to replace the six batteries when they are 3-4 years old at a cost of around $800.00 (you can probably go longer, but you will be at risk of getting stranded). Bottom line, there are clear differences between gas and electric, and you need to decide what's important to you.
