Russ, you may be right about the volume at TVGC. Do you think the volume discount would apply to Yamaha or to Yamaha gas vs electric. I don't know how that would work. As I said, I have one of each for personal use and a gas Yamaha and a Club Car electric for the rentals. They all do well. Once there full time I may take on the ajbrown upgrade project for the Club Car. The Yamaha electric has the 8 6v batteries already and seems to go forever on a charge. Be nice to have the same configuration in the Club Car.

Next time I go into TVGC I am going to ask a sales person why they push gas over electric. And also ask for their cost to operate comparison. I have an old one someplace, but I am sure somethings have changed. It was fairly detailed and was a significant monthly cost difference.

the cost to operate I saw was less than .02 elec & .17 permile gas at $4 a gal

If you go the electric cart route, might want to check out Gel Batteries, cost a little bit more, but last up to 8 years (NO maintenance), also very important tip if you go with regular batteries, always fill batteries AFTER you have fully charged cart...Info I'm passing on from Villages carts.

GAS CARTS:

1. Less money over the long term.
2. No plug in at night.

ELECTRIC:

1. No smelly garage.
2. Quiet ride.
