Is your car auto or manual?
I also believe new cars take approx 10,000 miles until they bed in and become more efficient. My manual D3 is approx at 18,000 miles and has settled at around 50mpg but does frequent motorway journeys too. If I don't do any motorway journeys, the average can drop to mid-40s. I expect a marginal increase as we head into warmer climes.
I wouldn't worry too much just yet until you get 10,000 on the clock.
