I have a QQ since May 2006 and although initially i experienced high fuel economy (my car was doing around 11km/l in Lahore) but now its economy is amazing - 17km/l in city (tested recently by filling petrol to full from Attock fuel pump in defence- drove for 130kms and refilled tank -came to 6.6l)
You just have to keep its air filter clean and all the sensors/carb should be clean dirt free to get this kinda good economy - no doubt my QQ would give 18-20km/l in city if i mixed petrol with High Octane but its Rs.10 more/l too bad Pakistani Fuel companies dont provide good octane in Super. I think Super/Premium Petrol is around 87 Octane whereas QQ requires 93 Octane fuel.

i have since then converted it back to CNG and its doing 110 kms in Rs.190 of fuel with 30% AC in city. I am very happy with its fuel economy on Petrol. CNG consumption is not bad either. Car has done around 19200 Kms.

No doubt it is a great car and best value for money in Rs.5lac. I have'nt faced any problem since i bought it but i have seen many spares are available with the dealers. If you are going to buy and keep a small car for next couple of years then go for QQ and dont worry about resale.

[Naveed4speed]

bro it will make resale,in a few month,s and it would be a bter car 4 resale.but these pakistanies don,t know what is the importance of good car,s.they only want resale.resale,that,s why they don,t leave suzuki rolla.etc.

Hi everyone i drove my QQ to Islamabad on Thr and got back on Sat night - all via motorway and would like to share with u the fuel economy going and coming.
Going to ISB:
got Petrol and CNG tanks full. First drove on CNG at an Avg Speed of 120km/h and tank finished at 140kms. I got it filled in Rs.200. Meaning a fuel economy of Rs.1.4/km. Drove it on Petrol rest of the way to Islamabad and within islamabad for 2 days before refilling the tank back to full from F8 Caltex before leaving back for Lahore via Motorway. Again drove it first on CNG and when that finished i drove it on Petrol rest of the way to Lahore and got it refilled from 'Red Rose' Shell in Faisal Town. Following are the stats.

Start of journey: Red Rose Shell, Faisal Town, Petrol filled to full with Unleaded Supreme. and CNG filled to full as well with new Shell CNG.
0km Fuel in use: CNG

140km CNG finished. Switched to Petrol.
Fuel Economy: Rs.1.4/km Avg. Speed: 120km/hr

413km Reached home in Islamabad, Drove another 100km within ISB. Avg. Speed on Motorway: 90km/h.
Avg Speed within City: 60km/h.

513km Refuelled Petrol to Full with Caltex Supreme Techron in 15.4l
Fuel Economy: (513-140)/15.4=373km/15.4l=24km/l

Reset Tripmeter back to 0 and start journey back to Lahore on CNG.

190km CNG finished Speed: 90km/h.
Fuel Economy: 210/190=Rs.1.1/km

400km Reached 'Red Rose' Shell, Faisal Town, Lahore.
Refilled back to Full in 15.77l Avg. Speed on Petrol: 115km/h
Fuel Economy: 400-190 /15.77=210km/15.77l=13.2km/l

So There you have it folks. If you drive ur QQ at 90km/h then u get best fuel Economy of 24km/l as claimed by Chery. I did'nt use to believe it but believe it now as i also get 17km/l in Lahore driving. However there is one other thing i did'nt mention earlier - before refilling car to full in Lahore (before leaving) i already had 7l of High Octane in the tank which also had an effect on the economy besides best speed of 90km/h. This could explain the low Petrol economy on return journey as well (besides the uneconomic speed of 115km/h).

Excellent reports.

Keep it up, drive safe and get economy out of it.

Thank you Ali,
I relied a lot on this thread before purchasing my QQ and now that my car has done nearly 21000kms - the least i can do is report back how its doing.

[baqai]

i have applied in my company for a Cherry QQ as my company car, i hope my application gets approved as people here are suzuki fanatics :S

[Rocketman]

qq is better than suzuki

[Obii1]

Hi everyone,
During the recent long weekend i traveled to Sahiwal and back to Lahore on Petrol with AC and achieved 16.5Km/l.
I got the tank full from Thokar Total and when i cam back to Lahore got it refilled to full in just 20.2liter
Tripmeter indicated i had traveled 335kms
which works out to 16.58km/l or Rs. 3.2/km

And this was with constant braking and sometimes going at 120km/hr. I think i could have achieved 22Km/l if i was traveling at a constant 90km/hr and without AC.
