Thanks for the clarifications guys!

Edit:

P.S. - Filled up with gas today for $3.99/gallon for regular unleaded

P.P.S. - I think somethin's up with the alt-kill switch. It may not be "killing" the alternator completely. No matter the battery voltage when the car is off, when running and alt-killed the voltage hovers in the 12.3-12.7 range.
I even tried running the headlights, rear defroster, fan, radio, etc.... No voltage dip. I'll just have to run it killed for a few days and see what happens.
