Fuel quality is a factor in hearing the crickets or not. For me, they show up in the winter, and go away in the summer. I always use 93 octane. So I wouldn’t say it’s only because of poor quality fuel, but a combination of that and temperature. For me anyway.
Oh one other thing I noticed. When I bought my car, I heard the crickets at idle. I’m guessing they threw in the least expensive 89 octane fuel. After getting a full tank of 93 in there, the crickets disappeared.
