So far my (admittedly limited) experience with Auto-X is that you don't need to shift much. On the rare straight where you might top out the gear you're in, it's often simpler and more efficient to just bump the rev limiter for a second or two before you have to brake again anyways.
But in general, TongMan, you have to remember our auto has a manual shift option, and it's a pretty good and functional one. Unlike some of the poorly-implemented "manual mode" on some cars, ours really does give you good manual control and almost always stays in the selected gear until told otherwise (the exception is, it will auto-downshift for you if the revs drop way down close to idle in your current gear. But in any performance setting this is a non-issue, as you have no reason to let the revs get that low).
