What's stupid is your inability to read everything I have stated in this thread to fully comprehend what I'm saying.
Your individual experience really doesn't make a single different compared to hundreds of millions of drivers.
Try harder, peasant.
You suffer from a complete lack of knowledge on the subject and you call him a peasant. You should get that penis enlargement surgery and some shoe lifts already.

I have zero knowledge on trucks so I can rationally bow out of that conversation.
The point is, people who aren't in a hurry, heavy on the pedal, or aren't car enthusiasts, typically won't even see higher rpm bands. My girlfriend is a driver like this. She is aggressive, but doesn't push high rpms. She's one of those people who try to pass on the highway only going a couple miles faster than the person she is trying to pass.
He's talking about a diesel. A Cummins barely hits 3500rpm at redline.
Those engines are a good example. You are threatened within an Inch of your life by a diesel engine builder if you lug a fresh bottom end. It will never break in correctly if you put it on the highway at 1300 rpm from the time it's new.
And my counter to your point is it doesn't matter if many driver's prefer to drive in reverse. They still wouldn't be breaking their engine in correctly.
You can actually decrease the life of an engine if you don't stretch it's legs on occasion. Carbon build up etc etc I am not writing a novel. It's right up there with letting a car warm up at idle before driving.
