the only time you will use your overdrive is when,
coming down slip road towing,pop into over drive and it will drop a gear for you,
or for that little bit of exstra power on take of but dont use it all the time as in long run will cost you in fuel,
i use mine as a break when coming to roundabouts and saves on breakin as drops you down a gear then click of as pulling away,
