Hmm, tricky; but that's never really been my ambition.

I'll note that the laws in both NJ and OR that prohibit pumping your own gasoline are restricted to "flammable liquids" (that is, those with a flash point below expected ambient temperatures).
Diesel has a flash point around 150 ºF, and therefore can be pumped without an attendant. (So there's an advantage to diesel, if you don't like people messing with your car. The downside is, you have to be quick to physically block an attendant from trying to fill it with gasoline.)

And then there is Taxed (Road) Diesel, and untaxed offroad (Farm) Diesel.

In the UK all modern petrol cars run on 95 octane (RON) unleaded fuel; it is hard/expensive to get other fuels for classic cars that require them. (Note that RON figures are about 5 higher than MON figures, which I presume those US ratings use.)

US octane ratings are (RON+MON)/2.
