(I read a story years ago about a marina whose tanks were accidentally refilled with normal gas with ethanol as opposed to marine gas without - caused millions of dollars of damage to the boats of folks who used the marina)
Its usually more expensive. Marina gas falls under the "if its used on a boat its more expensive" rule.
Ethanol did screw over a lot of boaters. It also screwed various fuel storage facilities. Ethanol has easily caused a few million gallons of fuel to hit water tables across the US because it ate through various pieces of equipment.
