Question why is CO2 and O2 emission higher at Lambda 1 than 0.88?

erm, as in the title really. comparing gases from a dyno run and while the other gases all seem to make sense (higher HC at Lambda 0.88 etc) I can't make sense of the high CO2 and high O2 figures at Lambda 1? wouldn't the CO2 (produced by combustion) be higher at a richer figure and same for O2 being used up in said combustion?

Owain

sorry for multiple post but gotta settle a pub argument
