As far as e85, it has to do with the mixture. Since E85 has a much higher ethanol content, the way it behaves when its going through the pump is different.

Very informative, thank you.
My crickets don't get too loud yet (as of 3200 miles), and I only notice them like half the time. So it's not too bothersome, for now at least. Would that I could find ethanol-free gas to use regularly (for a number of reasons), but there doesn't seem to be any on Long Island.
I suppose I'll just have to go for an E85 tune!
