That's because the AT shifts up to engage engine braking. I love that feature.

^ I kinda like it and kinda don't. If I was RACING, than it would be great cause the low gear and pick back to speed easier.

But I don't cause by the time it engage I already let go of the brake and back to cruising.

So, I'll stick with Normal. It's nice that I have it for those times that I want to 'drive like crazy'.

But gas is expensive, I want high mpg right now.

I keep it at normal because I'm cheap and don't want to waste more gas than I have to. I try and drive such that the transmission shifts at no more than 2500 rpm. Maybe I should just drive in snow mode...
