I'd be willing to bet that most folks won't scan the gauges at that interval. I try to do it myself, but, I'm sure it's not set in stone.
But, to save the engine at high rpm's.....15 seconds is about all you have........
I'll bet it's a rare person who saved an engine by looking at a gauge and reacting to it in time.
The benefit of an idiot light or an alarm is quite apparent under such conditions.
