This website has a pretty comprehensive list if anyone wants to check out their area.

Kill crickets with ethanol free gas |
Most of these are not in major cities is the problem. I'd gladly fill up with ethanol free gas if it wasn't 30 miles away. The ethanol causes that lubrication issue with the pump which makes it chirp like that. I've noticed the Chevron by where I live has the lowest mix of ethanol compared to the Shell 93 octane which makes me chirp like hell. I still get the chirp with Chevron, but not at idle... just slightly above it. Kind of a trial and error with gas stations but it could change the next time the station gets fuel.
