Cruising = Maintaining a consistent speed for extended period of time. Not accelerating or decelerating. For example, maintaining 30mph in a neighborhood. Maintaining a speed on the interstate with a safe distance in front of you. Example of not cruising. Rushing through a curvy road where you need higher RPMs for more acceleration and want the extra engine braking for balancing the car in a turn. Another example of not cruising would be in heavy traffic where your speed is constantly going up and down.

Extra Wear = Extra Wear. Do I really need to define that? I mean we know what the word extra and the word wear is right?

I think people are missing the cruising point in my posts. The OP specifically was talking about cruising. Not once did I say you should never exceed 2000RPM. Hell I exceed 7k every chance I get. I'm not even the first person in this thread to point out that higher RPMs = more wear. Even the OP pointed it out. Go argue with them for a while if you disagree.
