LOVE driving with overdrive off!

[Weborific]

OK, I absolutely LOVE the feel of driving with the overdrive off, but (of course) my mileage sucks. Any way I can keep this feeling without spending an arm and leg? THANKS!

Sell it, and buy a 5spd

To answer your question, in short, no. And turning overdrive off is only supposed to be done when you need the extra power and are at an appropriate speed, or going down a hill and want to use engine braking.

Try the driver underside of the top of the shifter.
