Ground taxi requires wheels. If you have them, ground taxi requires less gas. Your local helis ground taxi because they can and it is cheaper.

I have never undertaken ground-taxi as I fly R44 and EC120 which re both skid machines. (Well, to tell the truth I did once, inadvertently, during training when I failed to keep height in an R44 during a taxi and kissed the ground for 10m)
