I have heard of this technique before so I think you are probably on the right track. This is the technique that I normally use but have never thought to test the mileage differences between "normal" shifting and this method. Depending on conditions, I either do 1-2-5, 1-3-5 or some variation. I rarely use all 5 gears unless I am puuling onto a crowded highway.
