Hi. Can you tell me if the O/D button should be on or off during stop start travelling around town. What is the best position to increase fuel efficiency?

Hi there,
Think of overdrive as a "5th" gear. So I would turn it off around town to stop it dropping in and out of overdrive all the time. And when out of town where you can drive faster than 60km then switch OD back on.
