Why do you guys use AFR????

Using the standard AFR for gasoline (which varies, by the way):

14.7 x .85 = 12.495
14.7 x .88 = 12.936
I'll agree with Scott especially if you're just getting into tuning, get familiar with the Lambda scale. (more accurate representation) It can also be used universally to read all types of fuel like gas/diesel/methanol,E85 etc... as AFR scales are different for each type of fuel. Most newer gauges are capable of displaying AFR or Lambda.

However, nothing wrong using AFR if you only use one type of fuel and that's what you're already used to.
