I don't understand why someone would be in 7th gear at 45 mph. That's 5th (or maybe 6th) gear territory.
Anyway, the simple answer for the OP is: You can leave it in D and use the paddles to downshift quickly at need
while staying in D.
The ECU allows this, and switches back from M to D after a few seconds.
That is the fastest way to drop a cog or two while remaining in D. Mashing the pedal is much slower.
