So it's completely up to you if you want to get a '14 on close out or wait 6 months or longer for a '15.
I don't consider at least 1 mpg in the highway test to be "negligible" and GM certainly does not when the A8 starts spreading out across the product lines... ..CAFE requirements are gonna get real nasty in the next 10 years and everything helps...
