We bought a BMW X-5 with a diesel engine.  We plan to keep the SUV quite awhile so we went for the durability of the diesel.  Liz drives the BMW and my main car is a Kia Soul on regular gas.  Bright red so the buyers can easily follow me and with the rear seat dropped down it fits a yard sign easily.

Jeep Wrangler likes mid-grade, Harley-Davidson trike loves premium. Why, 'cause that's what they each do best with - avoiding knocking, pinging, getting best MPG. 

Of course, "mid-grade" and "premium" vary on octane rating across the country, so sometimes, when out and about on the motorcycles, we have to supplement the available gas with an octane booster. 

Ethanol or not, we don't care so much. We use what's available. MPG achieved can be impacted but elevation seems to make much more difference as the motorcycles are tuned to run best at our elevation.
