2) Purpose of using an overdrive in a vehicle

An overdrive used to be a separate transmission mounted behind the main
transmission, and provides an additional set of gears to reduce engine
RPM at highway speeds. Most heavy trucks still use overdrives in this
manner. In modern automobiles, the overdrive has been incorporated into
the car's transmission and describes the top gear ratio.
A vehicle transmission has several sets of gears, and these gears are
selected, either manually or automatically, as the vehicle accelerates, to
keep the engine RPMs within its most efficient range. In the old days, the
top gear of the transmission was a direct drive, or a "1-to-1" gear ratio. In
other words, without overdrive, the engine and drive shaft of the car are
turning at the same speed in high gear.
An overdrive gear ratio increases the driveshaft speed to turn faster than
the engine's RPM, which allows the engine to run slower at highway
speeds for better gas mileage. That's why most automobile transmissions
now include an overdrive.
