You can still use the gear lever even on an automatic. Use it the same way you do on a manual, but without moving yer left foot!

As Ron sez, give the car some welly, and when the car stops pulling so well, move the gear lever up one = change up...

At 70 mph in 3rd gear my car does 4000 ish revs, so you don't have to break the speed limit if that's your worry ..

Problem with doing this is -- After a while you find yourself muttering "c'mon c'mon c'mon " under yer breath... heh heh..
