I tend to drive the same way in my automatic around town. No sense taking it to high RPM and speed only to have to hit the brakes. Easier on the car, the brakes, and better gas mileage. Freeway is a different story as I tend to cruise at 75 or 80. I think also the automatic masks the torque dip somewhat as I haven't really experienced it.
