Hi Guys, I guess what you really mean is Electric vs Petrol ... Gas is a
different fuel over this side of the pond, usually contained in a
pressurised container.

Our variable transmission petrol golf cart would not haul a glider that
had landed on the soft grass... It just span its rear wheels...
Admittidly the gliders were usually sitting in a 6 inch deep trench that
they had ploughed!

On Tarmac or concrete runways, hardly any tension was needed in the rope.
In fact on a down-slope the glider would often over-run the golf cart.

So it all depends upon what type of surface you fly and land on, for how
long the fuel will last.
