You need to have the system checked for codes to know possible causes.
The gas cap may not be on properly. If this is the case, it usually takes about 10 miles for the problem to resolve itself.
When you are driving on the freeway, most of the work your engine does goes into pushing the car through the air. This force is known as aerodynamic drag...

You're kidding right? The OD is for freeway driving. It lowers your engine RPM and allows for better fuel mileage.
well my car today stopped running while driving the freeway .i took it to the mechanic and said i didnt have any oilnow i need a new engine :(the engine will seize up pdq
Try checking the gas cap. if it is not tight, the engine light tends to come on at random times
Symptoms indicate the timing chain broke or came loose.
no
If the engine sounds loud like it's going faster than you really are it could be that you have lost your overdrive gear in the transmission. Once you hit freeway speeds, the automatic overdrive kicks in. If the engine seems to be operating normal, your tachometer might be faulty. Ken
With the distributor cap off have some one turn the engine over. If the rotor doesn't turn you broke the cam or a timing gear.
depends on what car and what engine, typically if your cruising on a freeway, you will be running at half RPM or at the most 3/4, but the lower RPM the better with that you get better gas mileage.
Overdrive is an extra gear assembly in the transmission that allows the engine to run at a lower speed (lower RPM) when you are travelling at higher speeds on the highway or freeway. For example, if I am driving my 1995 Explorer at 62 mph in drive, the engine runs at 2800 RPM. If I am driving at 62 MPH in overdrive, the engine runs around 2100 RPM.
