Alan22 Neutral Newbie February 24, 2004 Share February 24, 2004 bear in mind van can onli go at 60km/h... so if u are late for work.. stay slow or ur licsence will fly... ermm of cos a diesel van will be much cheaper den a mini 1.0l car... if using as a transport.. its a good deal.. firstly wont burn a hole in ur pocket... secondly servicing also not so ex.. fuel consumption even better.

Jaymz21 Neutral Newbie February 24, 2004 Share February 24, 2004 but isnt the road tax 6x higher than the equivalent capacity petrol car? in this sense, already the difference in fuel consumption would be cancelled out... surely u wont spend 5k on petrol a yr...
