Here's another Honda Automatic trick to try. It won't shift into top gear until 45 mph, but once there it'll hold it down to 37/38 mph. You can get it into that top gear earlier by shifting quickly D-N-D.

Also, be prepared to use N a lot as they like to hold the gear and engine-brake when you let off the gas. Neutral lets the car keep rolling a lot better.
