On a 10 mile drive, I managed to stick to ECO mode and therefore achieved 51.1 mpg.
Sport mode is way too tempting though

260 mile round trip today.
A fast run (i.e. driving at or just below the speed limits, where safe) in standard mode and overall got 42.5mpg (according to the computer).
Not as good as my J11A 1.5 diesel QQ or my J11B 1.3 petrol DCT but not disappointed

This is best I got. It was 50 km trip in ECO mode.

I've had the car for 1 and a half months, have had to fill up 6 times. That's once a week. Wow this car is costing me so much more. I really hated the fact the dealer said this is mild hybrid it will do same fuel consumption as your 1.5 diesel. All lies.

But what's the actual consumption?

What sort of miles per gallon figure are you getting ?
If you are driving 500 miles per week, your refill rate seems reasonable.
The car is bigger and heavier than the J11 and J10.
The "mild hybrid" thing is, and always has been, a massive con perpetrated by Nissan.
You are paying (in fuel economy) to charge the big battery and keep it charged and it’s only helping with stop/start and in extreme acceleration (by spinning the starter motor)

" ... I really hated the fact the dealer said this is mild hybrid it will do same fuel consumption as your 1.5 diesel. ..."
Sorry for me asking, but maybe the dealer was talking about that new e-power QQ version ... that is meant to offer Diesel-like consumption !?
You are correct of course ... consumption is most probably not similar to that of a true Hybrid (like a Toyota Prius ...).
I, personally, am quite satisfied with this 1.3 gasoline engine and its consumption ... even in Sport mode !
Our Nissan QQ is a rather big and quite heavy car, so I anticipated as much.
('Sport' is the only mode I drive my J12 QQ because otherwise ECO/Normal I can't stand the way it keeps the engine from performing as it should!).
BTW I plan to test-drive the E-power and I consider swapping the car for it, but only if I get a great deal on my J12 model 1.
Crazy idea, but if you drive that much Iqzy, would it not also be of interest to you to try to get a good deal on your QQ and buy that e-power !???

When I fill up full tank I only ever get a range of around 320 miles. And I drive on normal mode.
I only recently got the car so I doubt Nissan will let me part exchange for e-power as I am on a finance deal. I can only change after 2 years.

2 years only ... IMHO that was a good idea/choice of you ... especially because of the rapid changes to the car electronics !
I am kind of stuck with mine (no lease or so).
My only option is to get a good resale deal or keep the car for many years.
At least I have the ... 1.3 engine that reportedly is up to that task !

It’s going to be a good while before we see the e-power in showrooms, so (if you were interested) that would give time for early users to find the faults.
I see the review posted is only estimating 53mpg. Might not be worth the wait
