Lol, fair enough, wish I had a mate like that! It's not the mpg I'd worry about with town driving a diesel though, it's the DPF. Though at least you'll have the lifetime coated DPF, rather than the Eolys one.
I don't find part-eco driving hard really, I've also only seen the change light come on once...don't really pass 3k rpm even joining the dually lol. And as said I was taught to make good progress economically (driving slowly doesn't raise mpg lol, you have to be covering miles for mpg afterall, slow people just annoy me) so I just continued to do it...the MPG reader also helps as you blat it up a hill and watch the mpg drop off I just cant keep my foot planted at that point lol. Yours probably has Eco mode aswell? Tried activating it on mine but it wasn't possible, where you get a flower with more or less petals depending how eco friendly you are.
That said, I do occasionally revert to 17 again and have a cheeky tyre chirp from the lights...but that's still only at 1750rpm.
