Default Golf Cart MPG?

What is the 'average' MPG (miles per gallon) that a typical gas golf cart gets? I know there's a lot of variables, I.e., type of use, on the golf course, etc. Just looking for a 'ball park' number.

Just curious.....

I think I'm getting an average of 70-80 mpg on my Yamaha. Never really checked exactly but at that average, who cares.

70-80? Really... might want to recalculate that. I routinely get 42-45 on my 2013 EFI Yamaha

You should be getting 250-300 miles per tankful. I prefer to have my tank be about 3/4-7/8 full. I've found that there's less gas smell that way.

Are you sure you are not using units of kilometers per gallon?

And about 60 miles on charge if your lucky, and I would want to be close to home anything over 60 miles.

Carts and Clubs serviced my cart this week. I asked for recommendations as my cart would sit for a while. He recommended that I use the recreational gas at the Marathan station at Pinellas. He said it costs more but would be cleaner and I would get a better gas mileage. I haven't tried it yet.

My 2012 1/2 EFI Yamaha gets about 43 to maybe 46 mpg. Lots to consider, like driving habits, weight, hills, ECT. Just tad more than my accord which gets 34 to 38 mph in air conditioned comfort. Course when I really want to save gas I ride my C3 scooter which gets 115 MPG.

We noticed a big difference in our 2014 Yamaha FI. Quieter running.

I've filled up at Brownwood or LSL Golf Cart store for the last year.
