At my place I try to taxi on two engines if weight plus other conditions allow it. It not only saves fuel but about one minute in time for each aircraft departing. When 120 aircraft are departing and 60 can start the last engine during the taxi 60 minutes are saved at a reported $1000 per minute. That savings does not count the cost of the fuel saved. MD11/MD10
