Yeah, I already skip gears too with just 6, usually 2-4, or 3-5.

And that makes me think of another worry. With the engineers so desperate for CAFE numbers, do they get more aggressive with skip-shift, maybe forcing a 1-5 shift, or expanding it to multiple starting gears, like forcing skips from 2-4, 2-5, etc....not just from 1?
