In the Acura MDX, I notice that there 3 different drive options: D5, D4, and D3. Which one are you supposed to use when you drive? Which will probably give you better gas mileage?

D5

Use D5 in normal drive conditions. This means that the transmission utilizes gears 1-5. D4 uses gears 1-4 and D3 uses only 1-3. Maximum fuel efficiency occurs at low RPMs, or high gears. So D5 will give you the best fuel economy.
