I was having a discussion over a couple shots of Don Julio and some chicken mole enchiladas about how hard an engine is working at different speeds. My argument was the following:

Hypothetical: If an engine is turning at 5000 rpms and going 30 mph in first gear or turning 5000 rpms and going 130 in 5th gear...the engine is experiencing the same amount of stress. This was brought about by my buddy saying he would never buy a German car from Germany that was driving routinely on the Autobahn. What do you guys think? I don't think the engine would be anymore less worn out then if you purchased one in the states.
