True.  Another problem is that, if these are saturating injectors - each 
injector will only see half the proper voltage - therefore only half 
their full rated current - and might not even open at all.

If they are P&H - it's harder to tell if they'd open or not - but Tim is 
right - the opening time will be longer since the voltage across the 
inductance (coil) is halved.
