It's also very important to note here that more fuel does not necessarily mean more power. The rate at which fuel burns (and therefore the total heat given off from the reaction) is highly dependent upon it's ratio of fuel to air molecules, and specifically that more fuel to air than about 14:1 mix slows the burn significantly. Leaner mixtures (to a point) actually burn hotter and faster than rucher mixtures.
