If possible, I only buy fuel from a marina as the very last resort; Id

That's what I'm doing. I've got enough on board to motor for 75% of my
planned route so I shouldn't need to re-fuel this cruise.

On a twentyfive litre jug and a twenty cent a litre premium, that's
five bucks a jug, or about a buck an hour to run my Atomic 4, making
the convenience of a marina fill-up one of the cheapest things I can
buy for the boat.

As for fuel freshness, our gas dock clears the tanks in about a week.
