If the transmission isn't shifting into overdrive are you sure that you are putting the transmission selector in the D with the circle around it? If so then your transmission needs serviced. And yes running your car around not in overdrive will cause it to gulp gas.

When was the last transmission fluid changed? If the tranny isn't shigfting properly it will use more gas.
