hi welcome
your fe will improve with time. mine is touching 60k & still gives 11-12 in city with ac & 16 on last trip to murud with haif the trip using ac.
Wait for first service. which tyre you have put? tyre unnecessarily broader will reduce braking grip and increase fe if car is fully loaded, since both depend on force per square area of tyre touching road. baleno scraps speed breakers if you have put lower aspect ratio tyres. if you are into gentelman driving use 80 aspect ratio for nice ride and height, else go for bigger rim 14''.
