There is an easy test to see if your gasoline contains alcohol.  Taking a 
calabrated or graduated cylinder like the type you used in High School 
Chemistry class add 9 parts gas to one part water.  Shake the mixture and 
let it stand.  After 10 minutes and examine the amount.  If the level has 
not changed then there in no alcohol in the gas. But if the level has 
increased......then the gas contains alcohol.  This is because the alcohol 
has seperated out of the gas when it attached itself to the water.
