Interestingly all the posts have talked about fuel efficiency only. Surely what really matters is the range with 1 or 2 engines running? Most twins will fly slower on 1 engine and if you have a strong headwind, you may well not have the range to reach your destination, as the headwind will have more effect on the slower speed. Hence the need to calculate both 1 and 2 engine ranges available.
