Easy to see how, if you have never had them, it can be confusing when we say they come and go depending on the fuel we use but I can literally predict (within a few minutes) when they will show up if I use certain gas.

Totally agree. Ethanol-mix fuels have a far lower lubricity (for some reason) than standard gasoline. The lower lubricity fuels, at least with my vehicle and observation, cause the chirping.
