Engine out = longer range??

I'm fully aware of P-3's, Nimrods etc shutting some down when on patrol, but that's done for greater ENDURANCE, not RANGE. My question yesterday was whether range could be extended by this practice.

Potsie Weber surprised me with his 737 response - I guess I wasn't expecting a twin to behave that way (trim drag, y'know) but I now stand enlightened!
