Actually, on the -200 at QX they do taxi with both engines running, just one of em is pulled back into feather. Saves about 100pph or so (been a while, so I'm not sure of the exact number) by doing that. The -400 was going to try that, but apparently there were a number of powerplant messages as a result. Both airplanes are a lot of fun to fly though.

I don't think the Brasildo is a better hanger queen than the q400

Umm yea that was what I meant by saying single engine taxi. And thats how it is listed in the ops manual.

I love the sound it makes when they do that
