    Yes as a happy medium:
    The car manufactures admitted the norm of lambda 1 as 14,7 kg air against 1
    kg of fuel. This is between minimum economy and maximum power
    The ideal air/fuel ratio for minimum consumption is nearly 15,4 kg of air
    against 1 kg of fuel (lambda 1,05)
    The ideal air/fuel ratio for maximum power is 13,2 kg of air against 1kg of
    fuel (lambda 0,9)
