    Overdrive button not working

    Yes, you'd think so. Nothing happens. No light, no engine downshifting. Could a sensor cause that somewhere or just a bad switch?

    Poor mileage

    What fuel injector fluid do you guys recommend? I drive a little aggressively and usually always fill up after my gas light comes on so my lines might be a little dirty. I've never used any additives. People mention Sea Foam, what's that?
