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.

My personal preference would be for the majority to switch back to electric in order to alleviate the gas fumes, especially those that linger in the tunnels, because not only do they smell awful, but I think they are also a serious health hazard. Since using a battery minder, my 4-year-old batteries have plenty of range, about the same as when they were new.
