Should I bother cleaning out any little oil in the drum?

I would only store Ethanol Free gasoline (that's all I buy anyway), but I don't like ethanol added gas and the lower efficiency. STA-BIL says their red storage additive protects for two years, 32 oz treats 80 gallons for about $12. It's probably not critical if it's just a bit of oil, but I would definitely clean residual oil from the drum, along with any residue.
