Doubt a shop can do it and they don't make at home kits since I believe a lab has to to the testing. They probally need special equipment to analize the fuel.

I did find this but probally not cheap Gasoline Testing

if you are worried the octane is to low you could add octane booster to bump it until your next fuel stop. just curious to why you need to know?
