I see what you mean Trevor.
So here is another question then, what is the point not switching in 5th then, or D? Your RPM is pretty high, and you are wasting a lot of gas.

However, if you live in such area like San Francisco, or some place crowded, then you just go from light to light, and it is better just to keep it in low gear. For me though, every day commute is a 45-80-45 mph all the way to college. I just keep it in D, and no hassle.

Still, though, automatic will go to 4th even if you are driving 25 mph, and you can just cruise......
