When I drive, I almost always end up going over 40mph at some point. I know you're supposed to put the overdrive on after 40mph, but I just keep it on because it's annoying to keep turning it on and off every block or so. Besides the gas consumption, what's the consequences with just leaving it on?

Overdrive is basically 5th gear on a manual. It is used to give you better gas millage. So unless your on the highway and doin 50+ just keep it off while your in town.
