Night-and-day difference from stop-and-go traffic and long periods of idling for many hours at a time.
Hold it, we were talking about high-speed pursuits, not idling. Also, when you're maxing out your top gear to do 110mph on the AutoBahn, you're going to be in the 3 to 4K RPM range - depends on the car and how many gears you have, of course. Not low RPM.
