The little V8 handle the overdrive very well, 1st until 20km/h, 2nd until approximately 50km/h, shifting into 2nd overdrive and then 3rd overdrive.
2nd and 2nd OD are very useful for city driving and hilly roads. 3rd OD is perfect for cruising at 100-110 km/h. At this speed, the car is very silent.
I am more than happy with it.
No long trip yet, so it's difficult to say regarding fuel mileage economy, but it will certainly reduce fuel consumption.
