Use 2 stroke oil. Kills the chirps for me. I put it in the fuel tank at a 1:1000 ratio. I use Lucas Oil 2T semi-synthetic w/ low ash. A small bottle costs me $3.99 at Pep Boys. It contains enough for 4 fill ups.

Was this posted on the forum somewhere? And your crickets will just keep coming back... you'll just have to learn to live with it. I gave up fighting it personally. I would just wait until subaru comes up with a fix instead of adding additives to your fuel system.
