Information Source for fuel quality?

There is a fairly simple test you can do in the field that requires a known amount of 'unknown' fuel, water and a graduated cylinder. I don't have the reference handy but you add enough water to take all of the ethanol out of the gasoline. The change in volume of the original sample to the one with the ethanol removed gives you the percent of ethanol.

NOTE: you still have to dispose of the gasoline sample and unless you have a safe way to keep the water out, this becomes a challenge.

I don't know about ethanol content, but do a search on Google for "top tier gasoline"

You will find some interesting facts about gasoline quality.

Tundrwd, Your state's department that checks gas station pumps can provide the information you want. The specific name changes from state to state; sometimes it is the department of agriculture, other times some other department. It is identified on the sticker attached to each pump. Unless there is a strong sunshine law in your state, it may take some time to drill down to the correct information.
