I know it's not a 7.0, but my 5.7 had the same feature, and I never used it. I still got over published mileage in the city, and that car was over 100K miles old. I am willing to bet my Z06 would get well over 16mpg in the city without using it, too. Actually, the skip-shift feature is VERY unobtrusive on the Z06. I hardly ever run into it. I shift before I reach the rpm window usually and it still accelerates nicely.
