Your explanation of overdrive is wrong.
You actually need overdrive if your are on highway cos overdrive is your last gear.
It is at overdrive you can achieve best fuel mileage and technically ,your vehicle speed is greater than engine speed.
pls does overdrive increase fuel consumption?

The purpose of overdrive is to minimise fuel economy as possible at high speed .

Turning overdrive off will increase fuel consumption at high speed because the car will not engage higher gears and to compensate for the higher speed car will run at higher rpm.

I have tried to understand the real difference between driving in Sport (S), Economy (E) or Over Drive (O/D). I have read about it but it just seems to confuse as I have not gotten the tangible difference between in all those gear selection.

Which is more economical when it comes to fuel consumption ?
S, E or O/D

Which ensure smoother gear transmission and speed?



I appreciate your contributions...

Sport mode is meant for driving conditions when fuel economy is not as important as speed, i.e when you want to accelerate and attain top speed rapidly.
Economy is when you are more concerned about using the minimum amount of fuel, therefore you want even acceleration to prevent sharp braking. This way the car accelerates and drives without demanding for too much power from engine in order to achieve best fuel consumption rate.
Overdrive is when want to achieve highest gear ratio thereby allowing car move as fast as possible without engine being overworked.
Cruise control is what allows driver set a minimum speed for the car, therefore when engaged the car would automatically compensate to move at that speed except brake is applied to reduce speed.

Therefore Sport and Economy are drive modes while overdrive is maximum gear and cruise control is driver assist.
