It isn't the high percentage ethanol it is the 10% stuff that seems to do it. I am100% cricket free until I pump some 10% stuff in. There is also a temperature element involved since I can go all winter with whatever fuel I want and no chirps at all but as soon as it warms up and I use 10% my buddies show up for a visit. They are strictly fair weather friends that only come by when alcohol is involved. Much like some cottage visitors.
