I have electric, and wouldnt have a gas unit. I like the quiet of the electric, and no fumes, no gas in the basement ETC. I usually get a good life out of my batteries but I maintain them well, then again I get good life out of my gas powered stuff for the same reason I guess. I have had friends who have had bad experiences with electric and would NEVER have another one, and for those guys the gas carts are the only choice. I have not used a gas powered cart very much, maybe I never used a good one?
