I'll add to the consensus -

We have a slip at MVYC and I have a phobia of not having at least a 1/2 tank of gas in the boat when we return therefore (given our usage) we are at the gas dock quite frequently.

As is the case with many others above, we keep a small stash of $5's on the boat which is used each time we fuel up. 99% of the gas dock attendants are college kids! Their salary is mediocre at best, so paying it forward with a $5 bill each time we fuel seems trivial to me........ but is received with thanks & gratitude.
