That is overdrive, and you should drive with that setting most of the time. The D and the 1 are lower gears, so you only use those when you are climbing up a hill at low speeds and engine is revving too low because the transmission is in a high gear. Those lower settings tend to use up more gas since revving higher usually does that.
