757

i was told by a ground instructor that the 757 had a better range flying in one engine, being the cause that is overpowered and it's
engines run at relativly low power setting , and as someone pointed out in a previous post the fuel comsumption is reduced when flying on one engine, while saying that he was showing the calculation tables of the acft.

If the DC8 is also overpowered , i guess it could be done , shut down
two engines on CRS and save 10 or 20% of fuel, in the other hand i don't think it would be allowed by the CAA, FAA.....

Could somebody taht has flown the 757 confirm the info?
