DISCLAIMER: I have nothing against gas carts. But they all stink if you are behind the ass end of one. :D

I love my electric but will probably switch to gas as TV keeps on getting bigger and the range of a gas cart is greater.

BTW - I tend to hold my breath when in a tunnel until I can get a breath of clean air.

There is a difference between the Shell Unleaded gas and the gas you can purchase at The Villages Golf Cart in terms of the smell. It is more expensive at The Villages but worth it in my opinion. Plus my Credit Card Number has not been compromised there at The Villages like has been reported at The Shell stations. The cart does not leave a terrible smell in the garage when you get home from a long ride. Seems to run better also. Probably not knocking people out in the tunnels as badly either. Negotiating is possible but not as easy as in NJ. I got $500 off my cart in 2016 because I hung in there till they caved in.

If you want to buy a new Yamaha Golf Cart and want the lowest price, many people overlook I-4 Power Equipment in Webster. It's only about 15 miles south and you can search their name on this website and you'll see many others have said they saved $2,000 over The Villages Golf Cars and Carts & Clubs of Ocala when it comes to new Yamahas.

I see this quite a bit on this forum. Does this mean the original poster deleted their post?

I will never own a gas cart. I don't play golf so no worries about range. If my destination is THAT far.....I'll take the car.

If ever there is a thinly veiled political argument it is gas vs. electric golf carts.

I know this;

You don't see gas carts sitting without the owner along the paths.

Gracie.....I honesty do mean what I said. I took a ride in my sister's gas cart from Caroline to Brownwood. By the time I got there, my entire body was vibrating just like the engine on her Yamaha cart. Yikes! That ride just confirmed for me that I would never want to own a gas cart.

Sis now has a 2017 Yamaha gas and I honestly still do not like the noise, the gas odor (not as strong as the old cart) and the vibration (although must admit the noise level and the vibration is improved somewhat)......and she has the steel belted radial tires on it too. My Yamaha electric rides like butter and is soooo quiet. 'carrying on a conversation in my electric cart is so much easier than fighting the noise level in the 2017 Yamaha gas. I just LOVE my 2016 Yamaha electric cart!

Wow, the knightrides and I-4 cart places have 2018 Yamaha Gas Quiet Tech carts for $7,300. I wonder if these carts have the high speed gear for 20 mph? 10" tires and custom seats would add say $2000. So if the right gear is in those carts then it looks like $9300 vs 13,000 - 14,000 at The Villages Store.
