Snippet from this website:



Note that it's normal for an engine to constantly alternate between running a slightly rich to slightly lean air fuel ratio as it constantly adjusts around stoich 14.7:1
The LTFT and STFT are both fine and I don't have CEL either. The STFT bounce around but it rarely gets over +/- 2%. It will be great if Torque Pro can provide me the average of both fuel trims for my trip. Thus I can compare these with the mpg.
