Driving in 3rd gear

All this talk/advice of driving in D3 (around town of course)...so I try it yesterday and I noticed more immediate response,etc...BUT I also noticed that when I'm cruising at say 45mph and I take my foot off the gas the rpm's drop to less then 1000. Is that normal or abnormal? Most cars would "hold" 3rd gear if you let off and provide engine breaking to slow you down. When I let off in D3 I am basically coasting like a manual in neutral. What do you think?
