Flying a twin with one engine at idle

Hey guys. I'm in another country. FAA rules do not apply here. Lots of freedom here unlike in the USA. I have a ferry flight coming up in a Bell Medium and am having some fuel issues. I fuel out of barrels and I have a 320 nm leg tomorrow. Have any of you found if you go to idle with one engine and 100% (or so maybe a touch less) on the other, it saves you some quantifiable fuel? Looking for experienced pilots to help me out.
