However I've already got 28K miles in 8 months. I plan to use this car as my daily for another three years (if you do the math that adds up to about 130K). Keeping ware down on ware parts is something that's important to me.

this is correct! key phrase here is "lugging the engine" yes! this creates unnecessary wear,and should be avoided.if you are NOT lugging the engine,REGARDLESS of what gear you are in,then it is of no concern.
