Something about a "circle jerk".

Go to your local airport - buy 100 LL, that's 100 octane with a "low" percentage of lead. Expensive, you bet.
Yes, I don't think that gas absorbs water.
That is why you add 'drygas', to allow the water to be dispersed into the gas and eliminated in the normal combustion process.
Otherwise the water would just sit on the bottom of the tank.
