Stoich is.....

[Les Newell]

Yes, overall there are still the same number of atoms going down the exhaust
as come in throught the intake. However, if the air/fuel ratio is not at
stoich then there will be spare atoms that don't fit into the equation, so
you will have unburnt fuel or unused oxygen.
