As a general rule, YES!
The only circumstance I know of that this changes is when pulling a trailer. Then its recommended to take it out of overdrive, unless you are finally on the highway and at cruise speed for a good distance.
Google Maps estimates the driving time as 5 hours and 12 miles and give the road distance as 248 miles.
The driving distance between Amarillo, TX and Nashville, TN is approximately 935 miles. The driving time would be approximately 15 hours if you were to travel non-stop in good driving conditions. (The driving time does not take into consideration conditions which may extend trip time such as weather, road work, border crossings and rush hour traffic in urban areas.)
Since a city in Pennsylvania wasn't specified, let's go with Philadelphia.The approximate driving time and mileage information -Between: Seattle, WAand: Philadelphia, PADriving miles: 2820Driving time: 46 hrs- is based on traveling non-stop in good driving conditions. Driving time does not take into consideration conditions which may extend travel time such as weather, road work, border crossings, and rush hour traffic in urban areas. Mileage denotes actual road miles covered as opposed to Point A to Point B linear distances on a map.
The first time is one time too many. If you do not carry insurance, which is the law, then you should not be driving. Insurance covers the event of accident and protects those who might be in an accident with you.
It's the Time Bandits Time bandits- endless road.
If you are driving for a period of time over 45 mph then use overdrive. If you are driving under 45 mph or in traffic that is speeding up and slowing down over and under 45 mph then do not use.
yes. it will only shift into overdrive when it is needed.
I have a 2002 Accent with the overdrive button. The owners manual suggests that the switch should be engaged to have overdrive on all the time. However, I have found that since I do a great deal of stop and go driving the transaxle shifts and performs better with the overdrive off. The car isn't trying to put itself into overdrive every two seconds and makes for a smoother drive. Again this is mostly for heavier stop and go driving.
No. You should not drive in overdrive all the time.
I would use the overdrive during normal driving. How ever if you need that little extra power then i would just turn it off. haveing the overdrive on all the time during normal driving " not pulling a boat or another car" should save you a little gas. just think of your overdrive as a half gear need more power go to the full gear
Most of the time except when towing.
Under normal conditions when driving at highway speed should allow the transmission to shift into overdrive.. Assuming automatic, if the O/D indicator is on when accelerating from a stop, and in most cases during stop and go driving (when transmission has not settled into high gear, or under heavy load), it should not be on. This should apply to literally any vehicle with automatic & overdrive. If it is on when an automatic transmission has not reached high gear, it would be a symptom of an electrical or sensor switch malfunction.
Overdrive should always be on unless you are towing something heavy.
