It depends. 2000km is not a magic number, so don't bet on that. But in general, the more you drive, the smoother the engine will become. You will feel that the engine will be more willing to rev.

I suggest do not worry too much in keeping the rpms below 2000. By doing this, you might need a longer time to run-in the engine. Just drive normally and keep it below 4500rpm for the first 2000kms, as stated in the manual.

And from a few posts above, melts mentioned that he is getting 6.3 to 7.3 km/ L, which translates to 15.9 to 13.7 L/100kms with city driving. So not far from yours as well.
