06 Civic transmission question
 

I have a 2006 Civic with auto trans and am wondering if anyone else is
bugged by the way it down shifts all the time.
It seems as if every time I take my foot off the gas and "lightly"
apply the brake, the tranny down shifts.
Sometimes, just taking my foot off the gas causes the tranny to
down shift.
The down shift is enough to make you think you are going through the
gears with a stick shift tranny. The dealer says that this is normal,
but I really can't believe that revving the motor like that promotes
better gas mileage, or longer engine life.
Anyone else bugged by this?
