What gear do you use when driving downhill with automatic transmission?

For normal highway driving unless it is a very long or steep hill you are probably better off to leave it in overdrive or drive depending on the transmission you have. Selecting a lower gear will let the engine help you control your speed but you don't want to overspeed the engine either. So, if you are on a paved road I'd recommend you never go to any gear lower than second gear. If you are driving off road in hilly and rough terrain, low gear may be appropriate then.
