Can you tell if your car actually shifts int 4th gear? Start out on a long straight away and slowly accelerate. Try to feel the upshifts 1-2,2-3,3-4 if you attain all four gears then it just might be a bulb. If not that might account for loss of fuel economy(being stuck only in 3rd gear) Can you shift all the way to low gear? The shifter cable runs right dow the center of the car and that may have been damaged when you got stuck.
Good luck,
Chris
