So, I mean, you don't HAVE to skip shift, but it seems like a neat way to help save on the gas monies.
Well, if there's no skip-shift system built into the car, then you're right, you don't HAVE to skip shift. But the system will be built into the SS, so it's going to make the choice, not you, unless you disable it.
