Well I don't know about that, i mean OD is 4th gear and in my old max i could easily notice the 1-2, 2-3,and then 3-4 and the lowest i got it to engage in 4th was at 25 under very light acceleration. 70-75 makes no sense to me....

Either way OD will low engine speed and raise mileage is the main point, obviously.
