It doesn't really matter how fast you're going in any particular gear as long as you don't over do the RPMs. D3 is basically the drive gear (D4 is Over drive) and no it won't save gas. All it will do is help you accelerate a little bit faster.

D4 is 4 wheel drive


D3 is optimal 3-wheel motion

I would also imagine your MPG would get shitty due to higher revs
