Does the engine work harder at low rpm or high rpm?

This will depend on what the "work" is. Example, if the vehicle is in neutral gear, on low rpm idling of course the engine is doing less work. But when the accelerator is pressed to rev up, then the engine is doing more work. Another example, cruising on a flat highway at high speed but engine's rpm is low when at top gear, hence engine is doing average work. But let the vehicle go up an incline and speed goes slow and the engine's rev goes high when on first gear, hence the engine is doing a lot of work.
