Default Over drive question

Just curious, do you shut off the overdrive function when driving in town? I have had cars that are much easier to drive at lower speeds when disabling the overdrive.

OD should be engaged for all normal driving.

The only time it should be disengaged if you have a heavy load where you observe the vehicle engaging and releasing OD gear (hunting for proper gear).
