On my automatic Landcruiser and other automatic transmission cars, I usually drive with OD on (meaning OD OFF light not showing). Reason is that I do not encounter extremely steep hills. The car simply moves effortlessly up and down hills.
I do the above based on my understanding of overdrive as I read from car manuals and other resources.
My question is: is it advisable to keep pressing the OD button (or should I just leave the OD on) whenever I am driving under normal circumstances?
Note: the question looks trivial, but I have had debates about this subject.
