You can take a look at your used fuel filters, even dissect them, and see if they are picking up a lot of contamination. If they look decent I wouldn't worry about it.

I do put some dry gas in during the spring in case winter condensation has caused water droplets to invade the gas tank.
Good advice about the fuel filter dissection.

You don't need to bother with the dry gas, your gas is already 10% ethanol which is quite similar to isopropyl alcohol (dry gas) when it comes to water absorption.
