A320 Flap3 landing to save fuel

Hi everyone!
An issue is being discussed in an A320 Asian LCC regarding doing Flap3 landing instead of Flaps full. Actually all are doing it to save some 8kg fuel per landing.The issue is with an airfield with elevation of 2540ft and runway length of 2746mtr. there is an ILS but the glide path is 3.5°. I want to know if there are any European and US carriers who do it. If so are their any conditions when to do and when not to do. Opinions with reasoning are welcome.
Thanks
