Keeping overdrive on. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #1375 14 posts Started by chosen1
When I drive, I almost always end up going over 40mph at some point. I know you're supposed to put the overdrive on after 40mph, but I just keep it on because it's annoying to keep turning it on and off every block or so. Besides the gas consumption, what's the consequences with just leaving it on?
good question! come one guys let see some answers.
The manual says leave it on unless when you climb a hill and it keeps shifting. So just leave it on.
Overdrive is basically 5th gear on a manual. It is used to give you better gas millage. So unless your on the highway and doin 50+ just keep it off while your in town.
I leave mine on all the time. It's no big deal. If you have a car with an auto with four gears, (1,2,3,4) it would be like driving with your car in third and not fourth. Just because it's a button doesn't mean it will make your car explode.
when ever i feel like leting my rpms rev and go fast or whatever i turn it on isn't the button where when u press it the light comes on the dash.i makes me feel like my car is really fast when it is so not.
First I will say, "what Are you talking about." Next I will say, high RPMS+more fun=bad mpg. And as thing are, I would rather have the Mpg
my friend thinks when he puts his OD its like nitrous..stupid auto 7th gen.
myself i leave it off cause the car does get up faster
