Chevron silenced my crickets
I had to this point, used Shell 91 exclusively since I purchased my car as new. It was roughly two months into ownership when I first noticed the "cricket" sound emanating out from under my hood; and like so many here I learned to live with it.
Last week on the advise of a friend, I switched over to Chevron 91 - no more crickets! Who knows if it will last (pretty sure I just jinxed myself). |

I've been exclusively using Costco Gas... so far only heard minor crickets ONCE... but then it went away and hasn't come back.

Don't understand the engineering aspect to all this? I had them, filled up with Chevron and added STP octane boost and they went dormant. Yesterday I filled with Costco 91 and they returned? Doesn't anybody have the real reason for all these different results. It is just a Bosch fuel pump, they've been around a long time and are considered quality design.
BTW, my neighbor tell me some Fords have the Bosch fuel pumps and have crickets? |

Chevron 93 pretty much exclusively for me. I've used BP once and got lower MPG and I've used a local dealer called Gate in Jacksonville FL where I used to live, my kid (36) still does. They always have good quality gas. Crossing fingers, no crickets yet!

I've noticed the same trend - I fill up at one of two gas stations - Chevron near my house or Shell near work. Whenever I use the shell station the crickets are much louder.
