Who said gas mileage increases, it wasn't me? I haven't done any exhaustive
(pun) tests but I haven't noticed any increase in MPG on trips now that I have
an overdrive.
I think this list has gone here before, frankly I was a bit hesitant to write
anything. I knew as soon as I did I would have to defend myself; over, and
over, and over, and over, again. Kinda like whether or not to remove the drive
shaft when towing! <grin>
