I've long since just dealt with the fact that paying more at the dock is going to cost more money. Since I only trailer to the marina and back in Spring and Fall I don't have much choice. Filling a 50 gallon tank with 5 gallon cans isn't practical either.

My biggest concern for dock gas is water and contamination, especially in spring when the gas in the tanks is likely old. I make sure I top off my boat in spring at the road station and wait until the last possible chance so their tanks are fresh.

I wish marinas would let slip and valet renters pay for gas in advance to get bulk buy as I seem to use about the same amount each year. Would be a nice benefit to have and may even reduce the marinas purchase price so they make more money on gas from everyone else....
