Overdrive is a gear in your transmission that allows you to save gas and lower engine rpm by changing the net gearing to a higher, more gas effiecient ratio. Typically it is higher than 1 to 1 which is usually the Top Gear. This makes it like you had a higher ratio rearend gear installed also allowing a higher top speed at a slower acceleration curve. Consider it an economy gear ratio.
