I'm pretty much on the program now that I try to get ethanol free gas at the North Plains Chevron whenever possible, but since I am out and about quite often I fill up when i need to and generally have to settle on standard premium. I get enough fillups with non ethanol though by doing this that I have been able to avoid getting the chirps for at least a year now. I took a long road trip last summer and filled up 4 or 5 times and never got my crickets back, so for my car at least this system has been working.

Love your signature btw. So true.
