run down the highway at 60mph for 5-8 minutes. shut off engine and coast 
to the shoulder. Remove a couple plugs..say #1 and #6 and look to see if 
they are black/carboned up/ wet or are they dry/coffee w/cream color?  
Or find a shop with a gas analyzer who will check the exhaust gas at 
different rpm ranges.. I prefer the 1st way as the test is under normal 
loads...
