There is no 100% reliable fix. Some have had good luck changing fuel, using Lucas upper cylinder lube or adding TCw3 oil to their gas, but none of those is foolproof. There is a TSB to replace the pump, but it's a waste of time because the crickets come back with the new pump.

I took my car in to have them replace the most up to date fuel pump last month. And it happens again last week, so I took it back in then they told me to wait because they are gonna notify Subaru factory about the issue. Then I just got a call from my local Subaru dealership today. They said the manufacturer is calling it normal now, because it doesn't indicate any problems or issues. And it only happens now when I drive for like 1 or 2 hours. But it is really irritating the s**t out of me. I don't know about you guys but I bought the extended warranty. It's up to 5 year/100,000 miles. So if anything happens, I'd be covered.
