Yea I read about the gas issue, I use the same gas every time though, either mobil or BP, premium fuel. I drive my car the same way everytime and it used to almost make the noise regardless of how I drove it as long as it was warmed up and did highway speeds. Now I don't hear it ever, so not sure what's going on? THe only thing I can think of is that the pump or something else needed to be broken in.
