What I meant (and obviously said badly) is that if you want max power the lambda sensor will defeat you by running too lean; and if you want max economy it will defeat you by running too rich. At no time will the FI running in closed-loop mode make the mixture far enough from stoichiometric to satisfy either set of parties -- but it is pretty close for both, and it makes the cat run correctly...
