Just bought a new 2014 Yamaha with the carburetor. Cost me approx. $2000 less than an EFI cart. If for argument's sake, the EFI gets 50 MPG and the carb gets 45 MPG, I can buy gasoline for a long time before I spend $1900-$2000 more.

EZGO and Club Cars sell only carb carts. Yamaha was the only one to market an EFI model, more as a sales gimmick than anything else.

Got to ask, how much sophisticated fuel management does one need for a one cylinder engine???

Then stop and ask yourself after 5-10 years, how much is the repair bill when something goes wrong in the EFI cart and your warranty is long gone where a simple carb. swap will get you going.
