Second, I am interested to know whether anyone has history or background as to why some of the lakes marinas don't carry it, for example, Fay's. From what I have been able to read, there are some great benefits, but I am sure there may be some constraints on the marinas offering it. Anyone have some history or insights?

Hi Tom,
Any of the current available stabilizers such as Valvetech, Startron, Stabil, etc, do a fine job of retarding fuel from the seperation phase, don't get to hung up on the brand name. Most marinas with gas on the lake use some form of stabilizer in their gas and a couple do not. Yes Fays is one of those that does not. They do however sell whatever brand floats your boat right at the gas docks so you can add it when filling up which is what most do.
I am a firm believer in stabilizer as I have seen first hand how quickly phase separation can occur in fresh gas! It is especially needed when storing your boat over the winter months.
