So far, i think the FC is quite ok for this car. I have driven almost 5K KM (mixed driving) and the average FC is 8.5l/100km.

The trick, i think, is to move up the gears as soon as possible. The more you drag on 1st and 2nd gears, the more fuel it uses. It is ok to drag the lower gears in short bursts.
I also realized that the speed and the gears must match, e.g. you will use more fuel in 6th gear if you drive slow. Its better to use 4th or 5th gear at slower speed.

Similarly, sports mode does not necessarily consume more gas. In fact, you can drive on sports mode at a consistent speed and it uses only about 6-7l/100km, at times 5.5l/100km only. Short bursts are ok and they should cancel off if you can keep a constant speed (at between 6-7l/100km) over relatively long distances later on.
