Do a E1 elimination reaction (using a weak base, such as a hot alcohol).  The initial primary cation formed is unstable, and a methyl shift will result in a more stable secondary cation.  Elimination of the tertiary proton will give you 2-methyl-2-butene as the major product (zaitsev's rule - it is the more substituted product).  Elimination of the primary proton will also get you some amount of 3-methyl-1-butene (the hoffman product).
