However, when I use Texaco/ Chevron 93 Octane my car almost never chirps unless it's 95+ degrees out and even then it's pretty faint. Could just be my BRZ, though...
I 2nd this. I'm in Ca so best I can find is 91 octane. I hear chirps every now and again but it's pretty rare and only in the heat. I always get chevron, I've heard that shell 91 also can stop the chirps for the most part. I'm at 67k now and I swear I hear them far less than when I was at lower mileage, I have always used the same chevron gas.

That being said the chirps are not that big a deal just a little noise which these cars make plenty of in spades from all over. Learn to love them, I did
