Skip Shifting?

In a Camaro I used to own (v8) it came with a feature called "skip shift" wich at slower driving locked up second gear causing you to go from 1st to 3rd. They claimed it was to conserve fuel. And possibly with much more torque coming from the v8 this may have had an effect.

I have tried this on my saturn many times (1.9L 4 cyl) but it doesnt seem to make a difference that I can tell. I run a 1-3-5th pattern keeping the RPMs very low. But I wonder if it has an effect since i still have to press the pedal fairly hard to keep it excelerating.

Anyone have any insight on this?
