since one month ago, my car has been like that,
most of the time i drive at 65mph, but the revs were at 2800-3000 depending the weather.
but now they go to 2100 at the same speed, is there something bad?
am i saving gas!!!!!!!!! ????

Unless you notice a difference at take- offs then don't complain. That is about the RPM that you should be at for that speed with the OD on. Also it isn't another gear it is just the torque converter in front of the trans locking up. It has a clutch and most of the time it is unlocked and allowed to slip and when you are cruising at a constant speed and not accelerating or decelerating then it is locked.

Incorrect. Overdrive and torque converter lock-up are two separate functions. Overdrive is the 4th gear in our four speed automatic transmission.
