more fuel to same air relative to stoich = rich condition

...It runs Stoichometric which is neither Rich nor Lean. You seem to think running more fuel to air ratio means it's Rich.

You are incorrect. ...


no
he is correct

and
his metro can run lean , when the 02 sensor is reporting rich condition

because of poor fuel quality - i have caused it by mistake and documented it
======================

to locate an ethanol free gas station
=============================
the EPA has also admitted that "some users" are reporting as much as a 20% difference in FE between summer and winter blends
while this does not identify ethanol as the culprit , it does the leave the subject open for more testing to see why ...
imho
