Most of the time, the needle was between 1900-2200 RPM. However, it DID seem to shift between 4th and 5th gear quite a bit; since I don't have the "overdrive off" button that a lot of big SUVs have, should I drive with it in D4, instead of D5???? ..........snip.......

Mark,
Re hunting between 4th & 5th gears. I'll just direct you to the following thread, which has some useful insights:

When I had a Honda Odyssey (3500 lb tow limit) I shifted from 5th to 4th whenever the conditions wer right for a downshift - i.e., I would try to catch it before the transmission started hunting (unlocking, thereby raising the xmssion fluid temp).
