I almost always skip the 5th gear, unless I'm really getting on it.
Just not much difference between 5th and 6th.
I would actually prefer a bigger difference between 5th & 6th (taller 6th?).
My understanding is a taller 6th would lower rpm at highway speeds.
Better gas mileage ... maybe.
Very little increase, if any, I would guess.

My daily redline spot pretty much assures that I am going to skip 4th and 5th.
Don't really redline in 1st, but will run hard thru 2nd and 3rd, then I'm at approx. 85-90mph so right to 6th.
Occasionally I'll miss other gears at given times due to circumstances, but there is so set pattern and not very often.........besides that twice a day redline spot.

It's close enough. It's called poetic license.

Look for the quote by Dark Helmet, part way down the page. Or search for "luggage".
If you've never seen Spaceballs, then you haven't seen one of the classics!
