Water in Gas or Bigger Problem?

A few weeks ago my 1997 900S wouldn't start, and I attributed it to leaving it overnight in below freezing temperatures with little gas in it. So I put some gas "antifreeze" in and put a blowdryer on it, and sure enough it started up after a little while. A few days later, after filling it with new gas, it did it again. It still had the antifreeze in it (I added the bottle then filled my tank). So I used just the blowdryer on the gas lines (near the firewall on the passenger's side) and again it started up after some warming. Now I'm in college in Boston, and after about a week of trouble-free starting, it's done it again. It started up lastnight in 9F weather, but this morning when it was around 15F, I went to start it and it just cranked like it did the other two times. Between the incidents I have run the gas tank all the way to empty (20 miles left on the SID) and refilled it twice (once at empty and once at 1/2 tank from different gas stations). Could there still be water in the gas? Or is this a bigger problem? How do I get all the water out of the gas if that's what it is? Thanks for your help!
