lithium is out too costly, iam looking at 2016 cc president all stock, vs 2016 ezgo rxv, I guess the rxv is ac? better for milage between charges??

As a comparison, before I went lithium but I did have the Alltrax, the longest trip I took on my cart with 4 adults was 20.5 miles cruising at 26mph. When we got home the lead acid pack was at 49.3volts so I still had a few miles left in the tank.

RXV has an AC motor. A little more efficient than a DC cart and more powerful, especially going up hills. However, a lot of them come with 4x12v batteries. Not good for max range in any cart including RXV. Conversion to 6x8v is not difficult or outrageously expensive and I think a franchised dealer can order them with the 8v batteries.
Bottom line: if you go with RXV get one with the 8v batteries and be prepared to rethink everything you know about golf carts. Among other things, the parking brake is automatic. You will learn to love that.

Yamaha has an AC drive cart also. Don't rule it out.
