    I keep my auto in D unless going down a mountain, then I'll limit the gear so as to not ride the brakes and burn them out.

    I select any gear I want with my auto tranny too .

    Contrary to what some people with auto tranny seem to believe , it's OK to shift the tranny .

    D , 4 , 3 , 2 , L , whatever the condition calls for , this whole you gotta leave it in D all the time mentality is retarded .
