A method operable when driving a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has an internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber as well as an air supply to said combustion chamber that can be controlled, wherein, when driving said vehicle, an air/fuel ratio in said combustion chamber is controlled such that said air/fuel ratio does not fall below a first limit value (λb), and wherein said air/fuel ratio is also controlled such that a first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) is maintained. The method includes determining a first measure (M) of a requirement for a margin with respect to said first limit value (λb), and if said first measure (M) of said requirement represents a reduced requirement for a margin with respect to said first limit value, reducing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) to a second margin being smaller than said first margin.

1. A method for controlling an air/fuel ratio when driving a vehicle, wherein said vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber a controllable air supply to said combustion chamber, the method comprising the steps of: controlling said air/fuel ratio in said combustion chamber such that said air/fuel ratio does not fall below a first limit value (λb);controlling said air/fuel ratio such that a first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) of said ratio is maintained;determining a first measure of a requirement for a margin with respect to said first limit value (λb); andreducing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) to a second margin (Δλm1) smaller than said first margin if said first measure of said requirement for said margin represents a reduced requirement for the margin with respect to said first limit value. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein a size of said reduction of said first margin (Δλm0) is based on said first measure. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said controlling of said air/fuel ratio such that said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) is maintained, is accomplished, at least partially, by controlling pressure and/or flow of the air supplied to said combustion chamber. 4. The method according to claim 1, further including reducing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) to one of a plurality of margins (Δλm) each being smaller than said first margin. 5. The method according to claim 1, further including: determining said first measure continuously or at intervals over time, and increasing or decreasing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb ) based on said first measure. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said first measure is at least partially based on one or more selected from the group consisting of: a parameter value concerning the progress of the vehicle;a speed of the vehicle exceeds a first speed; activating a cruise control function;data concerning a running surface of the vehicle in front of the vehicle;available engine power in relation to whether an existing vehicle weight exceeds a limit;a change over time in a speed of the vehicle;a change over time in a driving resistance of the vehicle;a change over time in the air/fuel ratio falling below a limit. 7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising reducing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) to substantially zero. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein said first margin (Δλm0)is a stoichiometric ratio of said air/fuel ratio in said combustion chamber multiplied by a first factor in the range 1.2-1.5. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein said second margin (Δλm1)is a stoichiometric ratio multiplied by a second factor in the range 1.0-1.3. 10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising, if said first margin (Δλm0)with respect to said first limit value (λb) has been reduced to said second margin (Δλm1): resetting said first margin (Δλm0)with respect to said first limit value (λb) if said first measure of said requirement for said margin no longer represents a reduced requirement for said margin with respect to said first limit value. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein said first limit value is equal to or greater than a lowest limit value permitted by manufacturers or regulatory authorities when driving said vehicle. 12. The method according to claim 1, wherein said first limit value (λb) is a higher value compared to a value of a stoichiometric ratio. 13. The method according to claim 1, further comprising only reducing said first margin (Δλm0)with respect to said first limit value (λb) when a sudden increase in a torque demand from said internal combustion engine is not expected. 14. The method according to claim 1, wherein said first measure of said requirement for said margin with respect to said first limit value (λb) occurs during driving of said vehicle under non-transient conditions. 15. The method according to claim 1, further including driving said vehicle at said second margin with respect to said first limit value (λb), until a new margin with respect to said first limit value (λb) is determined based on a new measure (M) of the requirement for said margin with respect to said first limit value (λb). 16. A computer program product comprising a non-volatile computer-readable medium and computer program code of a computer program is stored on said medium, wherein executing said program code in a computer causes one or more control units or another computer connected to said one or more control unit to perform the method according to claim 1. 17. A system for controlling an air/fuel ratio when driving a vehicle, wherein said vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber and means for controlling air supply to said combustion chamber, wherein, said system includes means for controlling said air/fuel ratio in said combustion chamber such that said air/fuel ratio does not fall below a first limit value (λb);means for controlling combustion in said combustion chamber such that a first margin (Δλm0)with respect to said first limit value (λb) is maintained;means for determining a first measure of a requirement for a margin with respect to said first limit value (λb); andmeans for reducing said first margin (Δλm0) with respect to said first limit value (λb) to a second margin, if said first measure (M) of said requirement represents a reduced requirement for said margin with respect to said first limit value, wherein said second margin is smaller than said first margin. 18. The system according to claim 17, wherein said internal combustion engine is a diesel engine. 19. A vehicle comprising a system according to claim 17.
