We could look at this from the inbound perspective as well.
As soon as an aircraft is cleared to make an approach he cuts the engines and glides in! Fast turn off, tug waiting (one of the ones that just towed an outbound?) and we've saved another gallon or two.
Missed approach procedures might have to be amended but that's just detail.

I liked the flow control idea
