Glad I asked... So what should I do?
I have had no problems running in 3rd in the city, and D on the freeway.
I noticed that cruising at 55, I run at just below 2000 RPM in D, but in 3rd, it runs over 2000 rpm.

I always use O/D. I drive 450 miles a week, mostly highway miles at 65-70 mph. I haven't used 3 since I got this car in April. I let the tranny do the work. I'll worry about shifting when I get something with a stick shift.
