You can be in whatever gear you want, and if it's an auto the more throttle means the lower the gear and the hither the RPMs.
Also, less torque is the wrong thing to worry about. You care about how fast you can apply that torque to do work (push against the air resistance). Higher RPMs = faster application of torque. This is why gas engines make peak power at an RPM where torque has already fallen below the peak torque value.
