Why do automatics transmissions go to 5th gear so quickly?

273 views

Even if your staying below 40 and not forcing rpms up automatics still just want to get to 5th and stay there as soon as it gets some distance.
Why shift to the highest gear when your barely making the first 4 do anything?

low rpm and high gear is most fuel efficient as long as the engine can pull it, i.e. you are not accelerating hard or going up hill
