If your gas mileage goes down it might not be kicking into overdrive. BTW this is my own dumbass theory so it probably isn't correct lol

Thats somewhat right, your gas milage would reduce because if there are issues with the Torque Converter, the car will tend to stop using overdrive for whatever reason. I had a car in the past that did that... or when it did go into overdrive, it wouldn't go out unless I 'manual shifted' the auto tranny. God what a pain in the ass that was.
