Phil, do you know if that formula also holds for lean burn conditions, or just stoichiometric?

You can also plug the numbers into the aero/rolling calculator:

Aerodynamic & rolling resistance, power & MPG calculator - EcoModder.com

But again, I'm not sure what the implications are for lean burn engines.
