Big trucks, too. I run 1350rpm at 63mph (what's that, 102kph?). My truck is at 503,000 miles and runs great...at this point it's has a coolant leak fixed and a DPF filter replaced, but the engine is still sound.
Granted it's artificially limited to 1550 rpm and redlines at 1800, and the engine alone weighs 3000lbs, or more than a Subaru BRZ and mounted in-chassis sits at my eye level. But there's gotta be something to the low rev count.
