    I have a habit of leaving my headlights on which discharges the
    battery. After I charge the battery I start the car. Now I've been
    told that it takes a few miles for the computer to reset itself. When
    I first drive after recharging the battery, my car seems to run much
    better, much more get up and go. Is this my imagination or is there a
    basis for this?

    Probably running richer till the adaptive learning is able to take place and
    lean out the mixture to near stoichometric.
