(Regular as being excellent at maintaining an already clean fuel system and the Premium offering enhanced cleaning power capable of cleaning up a fuel system that has had poorer quality gasoline used previously).
As I'm direct injected along with port injection I wanted to use this to help keep the direct injectors as clean as possible in between my regular uses of Amsoil P.I. which I typically do every 10 tanks of fuel or so as it has yielded good results in the past. Also because my company pays for my gas the cost isn't a concern. Lucky me.
I would like confirmation that Petro 91 is ethanol-free. Until then I'll continue to use brands that are confirmed for the bike and small engines.
The ATS only ever gets Petro 94. It's tuned for 93, and you can definitely feel a difference with 94 versus 91.
Another reason to use premium in a DI (especially forced induction DI) is to minimize fuel dilution IMO.
