From the fuel consumption and issue papers we know that 87 octane was the primary fuel, and 100 octane issues only increased towards late September 1940.
LOL, he we go again with the Pips paper while ignoring the number of squadron over and above the 16 +2 that used 100 octane fuel.

You continually fail to supply a breakdown of which RAF Commands received what fuel.

A single bomber in BC carried enough fuel to fuel an entire squadron of Spitfires or Hurricanes.
