If your car was poorly maintained and you changed everything to help MPG, you might see +1 mpg after all said and done. Thats filters,oil, tire pressure, cleaning out the trunk and other stuff. But changing your driving style/pattern can net you better MPG.

Engine Air Filter- I generally use Wix Paper Filters, or Napa Gold(Which is also Wix)
How many Miles on the G? How are you calculating your MPG? City Driving?
Try resetting your ECU and have it relearn, all you need to do is unplug the negative terminal on your battery wait 30min or so and plug it back, your odometer should go blank and you will loose your radio presets.

5W-30 any brand, though I prefer castrol, for oil filter avoid fram, purolator makes cheaper filters which are around the same price as fram and are much better in quality

oil and air filter will not make much difference. If your getting 14mpg, you might need to change the driver.

If you are at 140k, did you do your spark plugs yet? Are you driving a lot of city?

I haven't changed my spark plugs yet. I need to check into that. I don't know if the old owner did either

spark plugs were due at 105k i think. Pull one of the plugs off and judge from that. Most likely unless it was dealer service up to the point you owned it, its still original plugs.
You navi screen MPG is a little off. I manually calculated mines and it was LOWER then MPG screen. Its obviously to see why they would want to error to go OVER then under actual MPG. All cars are off by a little bit, but it does give you a good ballpark.
