Yes, using overdrive can positively affect gas mileage. Overdrive allows the engine to operate at lower RPMs during highway driving, which reduces fuel consumption and engine wear. By enabling the vehicle to maintain higher speeds with less throttle input, overdrive can improve fuel efficiency, particularly on long-distance trips. However, its effectiveness may vary based on driving conditions and vehicle type.

Just write down the mileage when you fill up your car and drive until you need gas again. Note the mileage at that fill-up, subtract from the previous mileage and divide by the gallons of gas to fill up.
