Granted. But assuming that a driver does NOT lug an engine, I know of no way that running an engine under load towards the top of the range does not create more heat, friction, mechanical stress, and wear, than running an engine at a more moderate speed. This is why the manual tells you to change the oil more frequently under SEVERE conditions.
As I have said before, if the engineers who make these engines really believed that it was GOOD to be redlining and such, they would be encouraging it.
Clearly, they don't think this way.
Again, having said all that, people drive the way they drive and build their logic around that style, not the other way around.
Its all good. Hey, its your car, drive it how you want!
