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?

The thing with skip shift is that the 1-4 pattern was chosen (in part) because it's at least semi natural: as you go down, bump it over then keep going down. With a little practice it can become pretty fluid. A 1-5 shift would be a lot more cumbersome: down half way, over 2, then up. Its still doable, but it would take more effort/concentration/skill than the 1-4 used today.
