Running on one engine

Maybe I'm not thinking right, but how can running only 1engine save fuel? To achieve any speed to get to plane arnt you having to over tax that one engine, causing higher fuel consumption?

Reminds me of those vehicles that shut down half the cylinders when cruising. I wouldn't touch one of those vehicles...it's quite hilly here in the city and the province in general.
