The only raison tht I see any large FC usage of 100oct is for a low alt air campaign such as to fight back to the sea any German ground force steping on English soil.

Fighters that need to intercept a high flying enemy first need to climb to that high altitude. It makes a lot of sense to reduce the climb time through the first 10,000 feet to a minimum by the use of highest engine power available (which required 100 octane fuel), especially if you can't detect the enemy on a long distance.
