While accelerating? I've never taken enough notice. I'm normally looking to see where I'm going rather than how fast I'm going.  ;D

imo, manuel like (over drive 1,2,3,D) usage gives better results and control imo.. you can use sports mode at the same time also.. as a result you will make the fuel station more happy  by your frequent visits ;D :y

ps: before using overdrive try accelerating in 1 st and 2 nd to see  their limits .. so you can safely drop the gear..  from experience my 2.5 auto can do approx 90 km/hr in 1st

Also note that the transmission wont physically engage a gear if it is not safe to do so.  You could travel at 150MPH and pull the stick into position 1, but it wont engage 1st gear..... thats the theory anyway!  ;D

and if it does it will only do it once :D :D
