Just found a manual online for my car. Says my vehicle cannot be flat towed with all wheels on the ground. I probably should stop putting my car in neutral then. However, it did say putting the car in overdrive when driving at cruising speeds will increase fuel economy. Can anyone confirm this?

Edit: I'm not thinking today. I realize what it's saying now.

I plan on filling up today, and filling up again after about a 40-50 mile drive to find out what I'm getting on gas.
