That would be the actual air-to-fuel ratio. 14.7 would be complete 
burning, but it does not get measured that way by mere mortals such as 
we. Oh, you can get lambda meters if you trust them, but how do you know 
for sure? Instead, at least if you have Bosch KE3-Jetronic (CIS-E) fuel 
injection, such as is used on the 1988-91 560 series motors, it is done 
like this: <http://landiss.com/mixture.htm>.
