fuel mixture
Engine's chemical cocktail
Fuel mixture is the ratio of fuel to air in an engine's combustion chamber.
The mixture can run rich (more fuel) or lean (more air), affecting power, efficiency, and emissions.
Older vehicles had carburetors that required manual adjustment; modern engines use sensors to optimize the mixture automatically.
The mechanic adjusted the fuel mixture to reduce emissions.
