Compulsory Single-Engine Taxi HKG

Hi All,

I would just like to apologize for taxiing at a walking pace and creating problems for ground controllers and other pilots .

For the life of me, I don't understand how this procedure can save fuel if a desk pilot is taking away my initiative by making the single engine taxi an obligatory SOP .

It takes me three times longer to get onto my bay . Yes, I broke the rules and ran a little trial. So if it takes me three times longer to get to the bay but my fuel flow is 50 % less. Am I saving fuel or burning extra ?
