Be sure to read all of it.

I appreciate your optimism, but the "new" pump does not improve the crickets. My 2014 has the "new" pump. I have crickets. Most of us do. They are just as loud as the old crickets.

Chevron and 76 do not necessarily get rid of crickets. I have found that Chevron in my area is usually quieter than Shell, but it's not consistent from station to station. The only thing that is consistent is that if I fill up at Sam's Club (Murphy Oil), the crickets will scream like nothing you've ever heard.

I found an ethanol-free station. Ethanol-free gas did not exterminate the crickets. Some people have had good luck with it, but my car is living proof that it's not a reliable solution.

Enjoy your crickets when they come, which they inevitably will. Just relax and imagine yourself out on the porch at dusk with an adult beverage.
LOL ok...I have plenty adult beverages at the ready for when it happens. I believe I am almost at 300 miles now so I'll listen for em.
