Question Overdrive and MPG

I've been getting about 3 miles to the gallon. Yes about 3.
Uses a quarter of a tank and drove it in the city only about
15 miles ! Been going on for a while.
I found I had overdrive ON instead of off. If the light is ON,
then Overdrive is OFF, as it says on the light.
I had it backwards. Didn't read the panel light. My goof.
How much does city driving affect MPG when overdrive is ON?
Thanks
