I'm confused by what you are saying. Can you explain? I only ask because my 2013 is chirping enough to get a noise complaint >.>
I sound like a broken record saying this but there has been zero correlation between crickets and ethanol content. Some don't get them and some do regardless of what fuel they are running.
Way back there was a group in Norcal (I think) where 5 of them got the same fuel from the same place at the same time. Three had crickets and two did not.
There have been reams and reams of conversations and data on this topic and the only thing we have learned is that there is not one single common point that applies to everybody. Individuals seem to think they have solved the mystery with their one off anecdotal assessments but overall it has never been solved. Ethanol content may be a factor but is not the factor in if you get them.
