It shouldn't be that low. Mines on about 35mpg on average and that's not hanging about and with the mods. If it carries on like that I'd it to the dealer and ask them to have a look.

Don't confuse the Average mpg meter with the Realtime mpg meter. I suspect that the 4.6 reading is what the Realtime meter was showing as you floored it.
What mpg you actually get will depend upon your driving style, type of road etc. but on an urban run you should be getting 30+ once its warmed up.
Also its still new and tight until you've got 1500 or more miles under your belt.
