LPG is 15+ and Methanol is something like 6.
I think you are confused
LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) and natural gas are two different fuels !
Stoichometric ratio has NOTHING to do with AFR in the sense you desribe.
AFR desribes the ratio of fuel to air.
STOICOMETRIC describes how efficiently it burns.
If as you say diesel was the same as petrol, how do you explain the MPG that
diesel gives over petrol.
