so with the battery brimmed and the tank full, whats the max range and whats the fuel tank size?

EDIT: 350miles!!!!! so let me get this right. IF you fork out 41 grand you get:

a 12 year old Opel/vauxhall astra chassis

a 17 year old opel/vauxhall corsa engine

all for what would be a $190/year tax-dodge over here.

if I were to buy a 1998 1.4 astra it would cost me sub $2000 (easy) and I would have:

15bhp more (75-90)
average 40MPGus across total range (not 38, battery+tank)
have a 52litre tank instead of 35
and get a range of ......... 458miles

apart from the tax dodge - there isn't much of a pro case for it!!!
