A320 Taxiing out N-1 Engine for fuel saving

Hello,

I'd like to know if some airlines practice the N-1 engine taxiing out for fuel saving.
I saw a Vueling A320 with only one engine running last week in Barcelona when taxiing out to holding point 07R.
With my airline we only cut off engine 2 after landing.
Let us know what do you think of it and what is your experience regarding solo engine taxi procedures.
