Single engine taxi on the ATR was a norm for us. As for smaller aircraft, I've seen the Dornier for Vision taxi single engine. I'm not sure about the King Air but one would think you could keep an engine feathered.

I don't think the concept of single engine taxi has to do with fuel consumption for range as much as it does for $$
Yes, I understand range still plays a part also, clearly.
