Notice something today

Blackhawk has a 3speed auto in it. i was at a red light and as i took off slowly. i listened for the shiftes to see at what mph the shifts happen. 3rd gear(top gear)was at 30mph. now since i'm in the top gear, the gear that most automatics get better mpg. would this mean that i would get better mpg's in the city? because the engine is reviving somewhat high at 50-55mph without a 4th gear and/or overdrive.
