Not Necessarily, Good example is my truck, which has a 195 degree thermostat runs right at about 190 traveling down the highway at say 60 mph. But when I stop and let it sit and idle for 10 minutes temp goes up to around 250, which really pisses me off, because the fan on is spinning slower which is moving less air, and i can open the hood and hot air just flows out because as hot air rises it really doesn't have anywhere to go so it stays hot in there. So i dont really know if an engine is hotter at higher revs, more heat is produced but with i'm assuming the coolant traveling around faster and such and the fan moving faster might help a lot, but driving at higher speeds DEFINATELY helps keep it cool. To help this though i wanna get a lower thermostat and a two speed electric fan.
