I live on the far north side and originally had a Par Car 80 mile charge version. When the batteries are new this range was fine. After 1 1/2 years my range started to decrease. At first I could go to Havana, play golf, and return home with just undr 1/2 charge. After 1 1/2 years the same trip would put me under 1/4 in the "red" zone. Now, do I continue to travel and not be sure I can get home or just drive my car, or replace the batteries again. I replaced the cart with gas. No more worries as I get 200+ miles on a tank and with my bluetooth headset on the noise is minimal. It is all personal preferance.
