I have listened to hundreds of gas and electric golf carts. I have not heard one gas cart that is quieter than an electric. And fumes? You gotta be kidding. Mufflers do not reduce fumes. Oh, that's right - an extension - forget about the folks following behind you.

I think Tomberlin's website indicated that they would not have a 4 passenger until next year but someone said that they have seen 1 or 2 around town. Website may be out dated?
I found the number for the newTomberlin store it is suppose to be 352-330-0359. Hope this helps.

I never said it's quieter then an electric, just that it makes it quieter then it was before the extension. And by the time the fumes reach the person behind me, I believe they are significantly more dissipated. If not then your following to close and we should eliminate your gas car as well.

But that's why they make both kinds. Gas for some and electric for some. Both have there pros and cons. You shared why you picked electric and I shared why I selected gas. And we probably selected a different color.

I couldn't agree more.

Seems though that some folks believe their choice is the only right one.

Thanks for the number for Tomberlin, will check them out before making a decision. My brother lives here also and has advised me to buy "gas" but then he is a golf nut (hope I didn't just step on some toes) and likes to travel from one end of TV to the other just to play. But most of his friends still own the older electric's that don't get much on a charge and they enjoy riding around the course with him so that they can get home after the game (or match or whatever you call it in golf). I think you can tell by now that I'm not really into golf. He also told me that a new cart from The Villages would only cost me $5-6K. I'm going to try the guy in Ocala and see what kind of a deal I can get from him on gas or electric's. Will let you'all know.
