The fuel-air ratio has to stay constant for proper stoichiometry,so backing
off the throttle means you reduce the volume of air(even though it's
denser).Modern electronic fuel injection monitors exhaust O2 content and
adjusts fuel mix to keep it within specs(closed loop).In the newer OBD2
cars,the incoming air is measured,too.(temperature)
