Re: when to use overdrive.

Overdrive is essentially an extra gear. I keep it off for city/hills driving, turn it on for the highway.

Having it off means that the tranny won't shift to overdrive, keeping the tranny in the lower gear and the engine RPMs up (which keep you in the power band, giving you quicker acceleration)
