That, of course, is why it is called an 18 speed.
And no one can remember if they are in 12th or 13th.
So we say "you are in 6th Over Drive" as opposed to 12th. It is just easier to remember.

Your 4 speed is a 12 speed...Wheres the other 6?
Don't matter what gear you're in as long as it's the right one and you know where the next one is, right?
