This makes sense, because this specific fuel doesnt have any ethanol or other bio additives. But most of other brands here use ethanol made from rapeseed, because of some law. Well, it seems I've been lucky so far, but I still have a whole spectrum of other noises that will make up for it. Thanks for reply.

It drives me insane that my car sounds like this but I love her so much :'(

Low ethanol content 10% is known to cause crickets. I run e85 with no crickets. US fuel is also much better quality than what we get here in the land of Oz.

Over 700 miles on the car, no crickets yet. I only use 93 with 10% ethanol content, Shell V-Power NiTRO+. It's the most common gas to find in my area.

Meh, it's just part of the charm. You'll get over it.

It will eventually die down, that or I just got used to it after 50,000 KM
