A fuel injected car (at least mine) will run leaner if a 16 volt battery is replaced with 12 volts. The injectors open faster on 16, meaning they are fully open longer. When I went to 16 volts, I had to lean it down. Went back to 12 once, had to fatten it back up. Right now, I can not remember the percentages.
