Allow me to elaborate on my question....I don't think I asked it very clearly. Is the engine under the same amount of load cruising at 130mph in 5th gear at 5000 rpm or crusing at 35mph in 1st gear at 5000rpm? 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.
