its not just the RPM's, you also have to take the load on the engine into account as well.
so if you keep it in 3rd or 4th, you may be lugging it while going slower (and thus burning more fuel because the engine/drivetrain is not operating at max efficiency)
you're best bet is to just leave it in drive and let the computer do the work. You could shift to neutral when you know you are going to be stopped for a while, but be careful when re-engaging the transmission into gear.
I've seen too many people forget its in neutral, hit the gas, then remember its in neutral and pop it into gear only to launch the car much faster than they originally intended.
