Best Answer

When you drive on Highways or motorways, Longer final Drive ratios are used to maintain Fuel economy and get the lest push out from the Engine and gearbox. This causes the Engine RPM to decrease hence giving better fuel consumption. It is advisable to drive in Cities with Overdrive at OFF as that improves the life of the Clutch System, but in CVT,s it doesnt matter.
