Default Golf Carts - Electric vs. Gas Revisited

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.

We have both gas and electric. We prefer electric even though their
maintenance is more expensive and time consumming.
