All the ones I have come across have it. Basically it allows gearbox and engine to sync for greater fuel economy when you are not 'town driving' I.e doing more than 25 MPH. I've always left my overdrive engaged as you usually get better fuel economy. To try, take it onto a long open road, engage overdrive and bring her up to speed. Then turn off overdrive and watch your fuel gauge. You can pretty much see it drop.

You've got a 283 hp pstar engine with a vehicle with all the accessories that you can ask for. Here is an excerpt from an internal chrysler memo regarding your vehicle.

The Town & Country gets a new, simplified powertrain lineup for 2011. The new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-

6 engine that produces a best-in-class 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, yet delivers excellent

fuel economy, powers the entire lineup. The Pentastar V-6 engine is mated to Chrysler Group LLC's

62TE six-speed automatic transmission. Chrysler Group was the first manufacturer to offer a sixspeed

transmission in a minivan, debuting on the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. New for 2011 is a

fuel economizer mode switch, a driver-selectable engine economy mode which assists drivers to
maximize fuel efficiency while driving. All the economy mode really does is to take the transmission out of sort mode which means it will have lower shift points and not rev up and produce as much torque as it would otherwise that's all. You should get around 17mpg city and around 24 highway dependant on your driving habits. It is your personal preference whether you choose to use this function or not. Try using it in econo mode for 2 weeks and without for 2 weeks, to notice the difference while driving and fuel economy, then you can decide your preference. Nice vehicle

Poor fuel economy can come from bad fuel or tune up.Try switching to a gas with a higher octane and give your truck a full tune up.This should help your fuel economy out a little.

There are five trip computer displays which may be stepped through by pushing the MODE button. The information will appear in the following order:

D AVG ECON (Average Fuel Economy): This shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.

D INST ECON (Instantaneous Fuel Economy): This shows fuel economy for the most recent second of driving.

D RANGE (Trip Range): This shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate range is based on the last few hours of driving. When in a low fuel condition, LO is displayed.

D FUEL USED (Trip Fuel Used): This shows the accumulated fuel used since the last reset.

D AVG SPEED (Average Speed): This shows the average speed since the last reset.

Overdrive is great at 40 to 50 MPH for fuel economy
Engine size?\
6 or 8 cylinders?
6 = 3.8
8 = 5.0

all you have to do is go to autozone and tel them the year make and model of the car and they will give you a list of all the possible different types you can use. all depends on what you want, from economy to super. for better fuel economy or better performance, could be as cheap as 2 bucks a spark plug or as much as 5 or 6 bucks a piece
