There is no overdrive, and traction control only pulses the brake caliper of a slipping/spinning wheel.

If you want to save gas. Then you know the drill: No jack-rabbit take-offs, Proper inflated tires, Premium gas(best in the long run), leave racing to Nascar, try to do more in one trip(as most women will tell you, when you go shopping, make a list), and do your mantenaince(oil change, plugs, coolant, air filter, etc..) on time.

yup - that'll do it. cruise control at 65 on the hiway or less if you have time and don't mind people swearing at you.
another trick is to use the break as little as possible; it actually helps you let off the gas sooner so less waist.
