Overdrive allows the engine to run at a lower rpm for a given road speed, resulting in better fuel economy (ideal for cruising speeds). So whenever possible, engage overdrive when driving your A/T vehicle, except when overtaking, going uphill or downhill (engine braking) since OD mode reduces engine torque.

In manual transmission vehicles, the highest forward gear is the overdrive gear.

thanks sir btw: it means na mas makakatipid ako sa diesel pag laging naka over drive ang van ko?

In normal driving conditions, makakatipid ka kung laging engaged ang O/D mo. However, you should still consult your owner's manual for the proper speed on which to run on overdrive.

kung sa inyo po ano ba ang pwedng top speed for automatic O.D is ON sa kia pregio?

AFAIK, OD should be on all the time. Except as previously mentioned, overtaking, uphill and engine braking. It is the highest gear on your AT. I think the pregio is a 3 speed AT. OD is your 4th gear.

boss, matic din ang pregio ko acquire 2002 in signet, as advise and for more FC dapat palagi naka OD in normal road condition but if you will go uphill or down hill tsaka palang i-turn off ang OD.

yup. try mo din magpafull tank then tsaka mo ipower on then cruise ka lang sa city for an hour, dont forget to record the km then pa full tank ka ulit para mas maging acurate ang pagcomute ng fc. dapat nasa 9 to 10 km per liter yan kasi ang manual naman nakaka 12km per liter
