Wanna share my experience about O/D

Family owned nissan serena 2.0(2nd gen model)
Bought in 2005

One thing i felt different when driving it was:
Turn on OD, rpm at 2000, less droning sound
Turn off OD, rpm 3000-3500, can hear some droning sound lounder
(Side note: was driving at 2000 with OD, when i off OD, immediately rise to 3000-3500 rpm

Same goes to FC, with OD, KL-KLIA drop one bar
Without OD, KLIA-KL, two bars drop
Same driving style,speed and highway.
When overtake with OD turn on response faster even at 3000 rpm whereas without OD, response slow even at 4000rpm

Why ehhh???
*
OD on = allow the car to use the top gear
Od off = car will never enter the top gear

Imagine cruising in manual car, OD on is gear 5, od off is gear 4. Gear 5 travel at higher speed compare to gear 4 at same rpm. Hence lower fuel consumption, when od on
