What's Over-Drive?

I was wondering what difference it makes whether you drive with Over-Drive on or off.

Everyone seems to drive with it off (err...on i mean)
 
off? you should drive with it ON...its almost like another gear...lower rpms @ high speeds...its nice on your wallet 😉
 
overdrive is a gear in the transmission that has a ratio of less than 1. This means that the engine will be spinning slower than the driveshaft. For example, if you had a car with a 1st gear ratio of 5:1 and a 5th gear ratio of .78:1, your engine would spin 5 times as quickly as the driveshaft, and in 5th gear, your engine would be turning at .78 the speed of the driveshaft.

It basically saves gas.
