Narrative:
Flight was teb far 91 positioning flight. 3 crew only. No passengers. I was flying from the left seat as pilot flying but as first officer.we left teb airport after somewhat of a long day. Prior to departing on this leg we had flown to teb and had to fly an instrument approach in snowy conditions. On approach to teb earlier nyc approach changed the runway and approach on us at the last minute making for the some last minute briefings and added to the stress level of the approach not to mention very marginal weather.while at teb after fueling and clearing customs I was the only pilot in the airplane for the captain was inside the FBO taking care of deplaning passenger needs etc. What this did was put the whole job of prepping for the subsequent leg to me. We also had to de-ice the airplane before departure adding the worry of holdover times and delays etc. We were also on a time limited basis for duty time reasons pertaining to the next day's trip departure time.needless to say I was quite busy. Pre departure clearance of the clearance was un-available therefore I contacted teb clearance delivery via voice. This being in addition to coordinating ground de-icing via the unicom with the FBO. I got the clearance which I wrote down as follows:RUUDY4 elave col dixie prepi owenz af..........what happened was that I did not look at clearance long or hard enough. The clearance was almost exactly as filed but with the addition of dixie intersection. I did not enter that into the FMS therefore as we completed vectors and were on course our route would take us direct from col to prepi. This is what happened.climbing through FL220 and proceeding from col to prepi nyc TRACON queried us to where we were we going. The pilot not flying replied on course prepi. Nyc immediately vectored us back to the southwest toward dixie. I knew immediately that I had omitted that extra fix in the FMS. I briefed the PIC/pilot not flying on what happened and we went on our merry way.moral to the story: don't be in too much of a hurry. Brief on the ground with both pilots the route and double check the FMS. Realize that other factors such as weather and time constraints add to stress and in turn require the need for even more concentration and understanding on clearances and situational awareness.

Title: A G-V pilot reported a track deviation after departing on the TEB RUUDY 4 because during a solo preflight he felt time pressure and failed to enter DIXIE after COL in the FMS flight plan.
