George,
EAA sells a test kit for $15.  See
http://www.eaa.org/autofuel/autogas/test_kit.asp  Or you can google "alcohol
fuel tester" and you'll get a bunch of options.

Basically, it is a test tube with markings up the side.  First you fill it
to the lower mark with water (approx. 1/2"), then you fill to the upper mark
with gasoline.  Put the cap on it and shake, let it sit.  After allowing a
few minutes for it to settle, you compare the water level after shaking to
the water level before shaking.  The difference represents alcohol.  The kit
I have is made (or marketed) by Briggs & Stratton and is available from the
local farm supply.  It has marks showing the percentage of alcohol content.
