Default What MPH does your automatic drop back to 1st?

When cruising along in Drive, you floor it, what is the maximum MPH that it will downshift by itself? My 72 is at least 40 MPH, upshifts to 2d at 56. Puts a big grin on my face. :D

I dunno... will have to test later, too. I only know my car downshifts to second at any speed <= 70 mph.
