However

If you are taxiing to or from the runway, the aircraft "is moving under it's own power" "for the purpose of flight" and therefor is logable under the FARs.

Taxing to and from the fuel pumps, or from one parking spot to another, would not be flight time, because you do not intend to fly.
What if you intend to fly, taxi to the runway, do your runup, discover a problem and then taxi back to the ramp? Is that loggable under the FARs? As flight time?
