The Critical Fuel Scenario is usually a loss of one engine and a descent to 10,000'. But....some airframe engine combinations give less favorable fuel specifics with both engines operating and LRC at 10,000', than with 1EO. A case in point is the B767-200ER with the JT9D. Your actually a little worse off with both engines running at 10,000' than with only 1EO.
