as i tried to explain overdrive to a fren today, i was pretty sure it involved the car going into a lower gear. turns out i was not too far from the truth. Overdrive (O/D) is the highest gear in the transmission. it allows the engine to have less rpm with higher speed in order to have better fuel efficiency. so just leave that overdrive on all the time unless u go uphill n stuff.
all those who drive automatic cars mite wanna visit THIS SITE
