• MPG
  • Imagine paying $0.62 to fill up your gas powered car or truck with gasoline. Now imagine being able to fill it up without having to go to a gas station. Well, with street legal golf carts, this isn’t an imagination, it is a reality. The average cost to fully charge a Tomberlin E-2 street legal golf cart is a mere $0.62, and the average range of this electric vehicle for a full charge is about 30 miles. With the average national cost of a kilowatt hour resting at $0.10 and the prices of gasoline and diesel soaring, the cost of “filling the tank” of your street legal golf cart is significantly lower than filling that of a car or truck. In fact, the charts below display just how significant the difference is between driving a gas vehicle and a Tomberlin street legal electric golf cart.*

Gas Price	MPG for Average Gas Vehicle	Equivalent MPG for Electric Vehicle*
$4.00/gallon	20	200
$4.50/gallon	20	225
$5.00/gallon	20	250

Cost to Fill Gas Tank at $4/gallon	Average Miles Until Empty for Car (20MPG)	Average Miles per Equivalent Dollars for Electric Vehicle*
$40 (10 gallon tank)	200	2,000
$60 (15 gallon tank)	300	3,000
$80 (20 gallon tank)	400	4,000

• Maintenance and repair
• Along with saving you money on fuel, street legal golf carts are exceptionally inexpensive to repair, and they require very little maintenance. With no oil, filters, or belt changes and engine tune-ups, you can focus on enjoying the mobility and fun of your golf cart rather than budgeting dollars for frequent service.  And let’s not forget, replacement parts on a golf cart are far less expensive than those of a car or truck.

• No Gas Stations
• Rather than wasting fuel going to get fuel, simply plug your street legal golf cart into any standard outlet. It’s like having your very own gas station at your house!

• Insurance
• Insurance on street legal golf carts is generally much less expensive than that on cars and trucks. Plus, if you drive your other gas vehicle(s) fewer miles, that may even decrease your insurance costs on those.

• Scheduling service and repairs with a dealership
• Having your electric golf cart repaired and serviced is a breeze with Fairway Golf Carts. Rather than waiting for hours at a car dealership or paying for the expense of having your car towed, Fairway comes to you to service your street legal golf cart. No more trying to find a convenient time to schedule repairs with a car dealership, dropping your car off, worrying about a rental or a ride home, and then having to go back to the dealership to pick up your car; simply call Fairway, and we’ll take care of all your repair and maintenance needs at your location.

• Wasted fuel sitting at stop signs
• Unlike cars and trucks, which burn fuel just sitting still, a street legal golf cart’s motor stops running and expending energy as soon as you take your foot off the pedal. Instead of wasting gas just sitting at a stop sign, your golf cart conserves its energy for when you really need it.

• Initial Investment
  • The cost to purchase a street legal golf cart is considerably less than that of a gas car or truck. This also means less sales tax, and you won’t have all those crazy destination, prep, and other car dealership add-on charges to deal with.

• Convenience
  • When getting in and out of your golf cart, you don’t have to maneuver any big, heavy doors, climb down out of a truck, or hoist yourself up out of a low-sitting car; simply stop your street legal golf cart, swing your legs around, and hop out.

• Gas fumes
• With Tomberlin street legal golf carts, you don’t have to worry about fumes like you would with a car. These environmentally-friendly vehicles produce no dangerous gas fumes that could fill your garage and cause a dangerous or noxious smell.

• Noise
• Another major benefit of street legal golf carts versus gas cars and trucks is the noise level; unlike the loud motors of gas-powered vehicles, especially diesel, street legal golf carts produce little to no noise. This feature is especially nice in quiet communities, but everyone can enjoy it regardless of where they are.

• Parking
• Those in cities and even in communities will appreciate how easy parking is with street legal golf carts. Because they require an area of only 4’x8’, it’s much easier to find a parking spot than with a car or a truck, there are no clumsy doors making it ever so tight to get in and out of the vehicle and it’s also easy to navigate into the parking spot because of the greater visibility and turn radius.

• Enjoyment
  • Besides, it is just way more fun!!!!!!
