Agree with Scott. Lambda is what the O2 sensor actually reads. The display converts that to AFR via a simple table with the assumption that Lamba 1.0=14.7 AFR. 10% ethanol contaminated gas actually has a stoichiometric AFR of about 14.1, not 14.7, but the "AFR display" will show 14.7 when lambda=1.0 and burning 10% ethanol crap.

According to Bosch, max power is around lambda=0.90, however, 0.85 gives up almost no power, and increases resistance to detonation, so .85 is safer for most purposes.
