Per Dan's post earlier this morning, two things to remember in comparing gas prices: the octane and additives usually already added. The latter is relatively small change considering the cost of a bottle of additive and the number of gallons treated is relatively small change. The cost of gas per gallon is another thing. Using the Moultonborough Irving, 87 octane today is $2.49 and 89 octane is $2.89, 40 cents per gallon mille than 87 octane. Just make sure you compare apples with apples.

There is a lot to be said for convenience and it's associated price. You may also want to take advantage of price comparisons of the various marinas using winnigas.com . If trailering to other lakes, use the Gas Buddy app to find your best price along the way (and fill up on the way back). In any case, enjoy the new jetski.
