I know the Bronx a bit and I would imagine in local traffic that 14.5 with a heavy foot seems reasonable. This car under accel in traffic averages about 10-12 MPG in stop and go traffic.
How much highway do you do? I woudn't sweat anything. Most of the spark plugs changes at 25K are for vehicles with a tune. 50,000 would be for a non tuned vehicle. There is really nothing a cat back exhaust or a dual cone intake can do that would tell your ECU just to waste more gas and spit out more fuel.
