I've driven in Germany and seen plenty of small engine cars on the autobahn. And in general, I feel Germans push their engines harder than elsewhere, regardless of whether the engine is small. And because engines are on average smaller in Europe, and speeds in Germany are higher means those engines in Germany are certainly being driven harder on average.
That 1.8 when paired with a hybrid will not be pushed as hard. But on the autobahn without hybrid assistance, it will be. Still the difference in oil of a light 20 vs heavy 30 is interesting. But as Overkill said, when he gets above 150mph in his M5, the oil temp goes up significantly.
I took a Mercedes B class up to it's max speed on the autobahn and I wasn't in the end going that fast. What would be interesting to see is what happens to Toyota 0w20 when you run a Prius at max speed for sustained periods of time.
Maybe in the German owners manual there is a caveat as there often is with tire pressure.
