something Mr. Lucas saved just  for me?



Ales,
It seems right to me. The car is going 40 mph because you are probably  
holding the pedal at a fixed position and the engine rpm is constant because  
ther's no significant load. Engaging overdrive then is like shifting up a gear  
and 
makes you go faster for the same speed. You should see the same thing  
without the overdrive if you held the pedal at a constant position and shifted  
from 
3 to 4.
