You have to get the granules. The liquid concentrates are useless. On the plus side, everyone behind you has a clean windshield.

I'm nearly at 12,000 miles, all stock, pretty much just use Sunoco 93 (their pumps do state up to 10% ethanol too).
On some hot days after stop-and-go or spirited driving down the twisty roads I use to avoid I-5 traffic, I sometimes lose the crickets. But they always come back.

FWIW Costco 92 Octane. Their gas is pretty high quality, I actually noticed a significant MPG bump between ARCO and them in my Outback, and now I avoid ARCO when Costco's available.
