Another data point for ethanol gas causing/contributing to the crickets. For my last fill up I tracked down a station selling ethanol free gas, and I have heard very little since. About 2000 miles on the clock, and it has been chirping since I first got the car. Down to 1/2 tank of ethanol free (running on fumes when I filled up), so it has been about a week. Gas brands I've used previously: Shell, 7-11, Mobil, Exxon, and BP...all were about the same.

Personally, it doesn't really bother me, but I thought I would give the pure gas a shot and see if that really made a difference.
