How to use O/D? - 4/15/2008 6:40:53 AM    dpb894   Posts: 1 Score: 0 Joined: 4/15/2008 Status: offline I recently bought a 2005 escape with the 3.0V6 engine.  I've never had overdrive before and am confused on how to use it to maximize gase mileage.  Do I drive in the city with the button pushed in or leave it out?  Will I see a difference by doing this alone? Thanks in advance for any and all advice! Post #: 1
