Are you guessing or have you seen data to support this? 18:1 is not really that lean in terms of efficiency ratios. I run a large displacement flat four with a fuel and ignition system far less sophisticated than those in our Porsches at efficiency ratios approaching that level. Some of the new direct injection engines run at 60:1 or more under certain conditions.
