The news includes Diesel, as well.

EPA one reason. Higher prices for fuel from Marina Operators another.
Since it is not for road use, taxes should be less? They should have a
price advantage. If they passed, that along, to Boaters, no one would
buy it on the way to the marina.
Another problem is fewer people are boating or at least as much because
of the economy and higher marina fuel prices as well as elsewhere.

EPA regulations are a big reason. New tank regulations have greatly
increased the cost and regulatory complexity for selling fuels of all
types. Small volume sellers frequently find it cheaper and easier to
just get out of the business.
