That's an opportunity to save a bit more fuel, by telling the computer to shift up to the next "gear" at the lowest possible road speed.
Here's a animated GIF which shows what happens when I use the paddle shifter to go into the "next gear".

The RPMs are dropping but then the car goes immediatelly back to automatic mode and with that it shifts up and the RPMs rise.
