Overdrive Question
I was wondering if it would be better to have OD turned off for normal driving. Usually when I accelerate relatively fast in normal conditions I can feel it switch to OD (at least I think thats what it is?). Does this use more gas when it shifts or no and is it better to have it on or off for just everyday driving on flat roads?

So actually when I'm accelerating fast from stop, when OD kicks in and my rpms go up high, I'm actually saving gas?

oh alright I didn't know that. So when I'm driving up this one hill, my speed drops to around 30-35mph when I'm going up it. I feel it shift and my rpms shoot up, that isn't OD, just a lower gear?

This may give you an idea as to what OD is: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/automa...nsmission8.htm
