Given that I can tow the ski a couple miles down the road to the gas station, I'm wondering if I should be planning on doing that—at ~$2.30/gallon I'd be buying my costs in half.
I'd want to use an ethanol neutralizer/stabilizer, but that only looks to add ~$.16/gallon which would still be much cheaper.
Is there anything else added to "marina" gas that would justify the added cost?

Given market conditions boat gas will be far less than $4.09 this year. Also keep in mind that you can submit your receipts for reimbursement of road tax for gas obtained at a regular station by submitting forms to the state. I have never bothered but many do. I wouldn’t bother using additives to fuel unless you are letting it sit all winter, chances are you will be going through it pretty fast. I never add anything to my fuel and never have problems.
