If i were to replace all of those, would there be a significant difference?

Around that, I think a GS is around 17 gallons. I get about 260-280 miles a tank.

you mean 250FWHP because we all know the high end HP spike is not the cars natural HP. Something was sprayed inthere to get you up to the 300 mark becuase it is deff not a natural graph so claiming 297 is kinda retarded because I HIGHLY doubt in daily status that car was making close to that
