The 4.0 Jeep 6 certainly can't take advantage of the ethanol because it has no knock sensor. Mine pings badly on the 85 octane they have around here, it needs mid grade. My Hyundai cares not, I've never heard it ping.

I remember hearing premium gas, even ethanol free, has fewer btus than low grade; can anyone corroborate this?
