Your fuel economy will be impacted.Modern cars use a lot of metrics to figure out when to give a high power charge and when to relax the alternator's target voltage, battery temperature, current draw, engine temperature to name a few. Gone are the days of 14.4v constant every time the car is on at least on stock cars. The voltage drop you need to worry about is under 12.5v, the fact that you're even getting to 14v means your particular charging system isn't super strict about the conditions like the newer cars are or that your car at the time of measurement had a cold battery and a recently warm engine.</blockquote>
