Not to mention the change in lubricating properties from E0 to E10 are minimal at best.....
It for sure has to do with the ethanol. The day I bought my car it was fine. The very first fill up with 10 % ethanol was immediate chirps. It really isn't even a question. At least one cause for the chirping is this. I left the state and as soon as I fill up with a non ethanol blend it goes away. Again for sure atleast one thing for sure 100 % is the ethanol. It sucks your on here diluting a possible solution because you dont have identical symptoms
