Think you need to re read the manual a couple of times.

You are getting the wrong end of the stick.

Yes if its a petrol car that is still lambda one and is what your car should be showing on cruise on a motorway.

When on boost though, it should be significantly lower than that.

If this is an MFi RS Turbo, you'll find that the fuelling is far from ideal.

OK, so you'll want to see between 0.90-1.00, but ideally closer to 1.00 on cruise (off-boost) and somewhere between 0.76-0.82 on full boost.

If you're driving it to have it set-up, I'd be concerned if it's richer than 0.70 anywhere or leaner than 0.90 when there is any boost involved. Obviously you'll not need to be driving it that hard anyway.
