Yes I will have to, because we have no idea what it is.. we don't want to remove it though because it may come in very handy!

Only thing worrying me now about the Bongo.. is it looks like it's going to be £80 to fill the tank!!! Eyed up the Veggie Oil today at 55p a litre.. but daren't!

Nooo.. we put £20 in this morning and it only just took us up to a quarter.. so I figured it would be £80 to fill the Tank!

I am used to a little A Class which can be filled for £45 approximately and lasts ages!

...but the Bongo wlil come as a shock after the Class A. You have to remind yourself that the Bongo will do a shedload of stuff the Class A wont (in your case it wont depreciate for starters so you can set that against its much higher fuel consumption). But an economical run around it is not

Yes! And carrying three babies around in comfort is something that the A Class can't do!

Fuel gauges are rarely 'Linear', if you fill any vehicle to the brim you can normaly do 100 miles withthe gauge barely moving, then wallop, down to the red, so I don't think you can work back up £20 1/4 = £80 full.

Absolutely. And as they get bigger, you could reverse the middle bench seat and they could have a party in the back with DVD etc with the blinds down and a set of curtains drawn so Mum and Dad can't see them. They'll love that (you may too). Childhood is about fun and adventure. A Bongo is the difference between existing and living. You'll learn to live with the fuel cost

Yes, we've been looking at the DVD's and the tables etc.. my toddler loves playing in it whilst it's parked outside the house even, all good fun for her and we will be enjoying this with the little ones for many years to come.
