Default How to use O/D?

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!

Leave the button 'in' for most driving situations. You will get better gas mileage with the overdrive engaged.
