My odometer clocked 373.5km.

After my first tank full, my car fuel avg is 12kmpl only with 50% AC all time on bumper to bumper Hyderabad city traffic.

I hope it will improve after the first service.

My odometer now showing 758km. Total 26 liters of petrol filled in the tank.

So, (758-374)/26 = 14.7

This time I got around 15 kmpl fuel avg under similar conditions.

Yes, without hand brake it will rolls back. But for this any special skills are not required.
I am very new to driving, but till now I didn't face any problems.

Dude, 150 Rs for filling Nitrogen is tyres is too absurd! In my place it is close to 15Rs/tyre.
In my place its Rs50/tyre for the first fill. So its Rs200 in total.
After that for every top up its just Rs10 for every tires or sometimes its absolutely free.[clap]
Reason: Everytime I do the Wheel Alignment and balancing works from the same shop and also brought new set of tire from here when it was time for the stock tire to say goodbye.

Follow this procedure:
1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that the vehicle does not roll backwards.

2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position while depressing the brake pedal. Make sure that the gear position indicator in the instrumental cluster displays 1st gear.

3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and when the vehicle starts to move, release the parking brake and depress the accelerator pedal to start off.

Hi K10ags,
Filling Nitrogen in tyres will help only if you drive in excess of 100 kmph very frequently. Otherwise you can do with normal air itself since nitrogen will never make any perceptible difference in less than 100 kmph speeds or city speeds.

Congrats on Your new Ride :)

Once I've driven a K10 through open highways and that car really open up well on highways. I was cruising around at 120-130 kmph easily and that changed my views on K10.

Anyway congrats!! Keep the thread posted.[:D]
