Mayf, 5 volt feed is what's needed, and this will aslo keep the output 
limited to a max of 5v of course to protect the input of your logging device. 
If a 5 volt source is not available... the BMP and MAP sensors work fine fed 
off a standard 5volt regulator from radio shack(#276-1770) that's being 
powered by your regular battery source, as does any of these sensors that use 
less then 1amp(and this regulator is very forgiving of input voltage surges 
up to about 30volts).
