6th on MT and 7th on AT is really just overdrive, so its for gas savings
thats what i was gonna respond with. the last gear for a 6MT or 7AT is an overdrive gear for gas purposes. You could technically go without using those gears and still be fine.

Small correction. Both 6th and 7th gears in the 7AT are both overdrives. Done for improved gas mileage. But I don't see any improvement from the VQ35 5AT, at all.
