Well at least, what we hve shown lately with our research in th Au archives is that :
- there was 100 oct fuel ordered and delivered
- This fuel was used ONLY to be blended with old stock of 74 octane fuel to create adequate 87, 90 or 95 octane fuel
- The stoichiometry of the blend is defined in the archive
- To be blended adequately, some specified additives where requested and delivered by the oil companies
- There was no plane in Australian air force that needed a single drop of pure 100 octane fuel as of feb 1941
What we also learned is that the cost of 100oct fuel was stated after some negotiations at 18 cents a gallon
my 1/9th gallon (of 100octane of course)
