The engine is still turning at the same speed and isn't engine wear a function of load and speed? If I cruised around at 130 mph everywhere would the engine show more wear if I cruised around at 35 mph with the above conditions? Let's also assume they are all highway miles with no stop and go.

Sorry, re-read this. I didn't get that you were asking IF loads were equal. I thought you were saying what if they were equal.
