That's why we shoot for mixtures of 14.7:1 for idle/cruise (if the cams permit this lean of an idle), and sometimes even leaner if we're really trying to go for maximum fuel economy under cruise conditions.

What is it you mean by healthy combustion? Sure you can get a healthy combustion, but that won't necessarily be your optimum or most efficient point. Theoretically speaking, it is only at that efficient point that you get the most HP out of Fuel burned or in other words, the least amount of fuel required to achieve a certain HP which is what you're looking at to keep you cruising at the highest MPG
